No new domestic cases of the coronavirus were detected yesterday, according to the latest data from covid.is. Furthermore, the single domestic case reported yesterday turned out to have actually still had antibodies in his system from an older infection, Vísir reports. As a result, covid.is has updated their data accordingly.
