A further 29 recovered bringing the overall number of active cases to 722, according to daily data published by health authorities on Tuesday. 

 

There were no deaths linked to the virus over the past 24 hours.

Health authorities have stopped providing a daily number of swab tests as well as the total number of swab tests, total number of cases, and total recoveries. 

Of those in hospital, two are receiving intensive treatment.

Earlier on Tuesday, Health Minister Chris Fearne signalled a shift in the focus from COVID-19 daily case numbers to hospitalisation rates.

He said the "main emphasis" of the daily COVID-19 update will be placed on the number of people being treated in hospital and in intensive care (ITU).
