The weekly public health surveillance report shows the overall death toll on the Island since the start of the pandemic has risen to 106.

Meanwhile, data which shows the number of people in hospital with Covid-19 and their vaccination status has not been provided in this week's report.

Public Health says it's taken the decision not to report these figures due to small numbers and 'associated caveats and identifiability'.
