14 people are currently hospitalised with the virus, with none in intensive care. 21 people are currently in quarantine, with another 40 in isolation, continuing the declining trend. The 14-day incidence of infection per 100,000 people is now 5.5, down from 5.7 yesterday. Incidence at border screening is also at 5.5, down from 5.7 yesterday.

4,820 people have so far been vaccinated against the coronavirus, with 5,882 vaccinations underway.
