Four new domestic cases of the coronavirus were detected yesterday, according to the latest data from covid.is. All of them were in quarantine at the time of diagnosis.

From March 31st through April 4th, 24 cases of the coronavirus were diagnosed, with only six of them in total outside of quarantine at diagnosis.

No person is currently hospitalised with the virus. 139 people are currently in quarantine, with another 123 in isolation. The 14-day incidence of infection per 100,000 people is now 24, up from 19.1 last week, while incidence at border screening is now at 7.9, down from 11.2 last week.

24,344 people have so far been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus as of April 3rd. Note that “fully vaccinated” means at least two weeks have passed since receiving both vaccinations. 25,915 vaccinations are underway. 50,259 people have received at least the first dose, while 74,603 have received both shots.
