No new domestic cases of the coronavirus were detected yesterday, nor the day before that, according to the latest data from covid.is. On June 15th, however, three new cases were reported, two of them outside of quarantine at diagnosis. There were no new cases on Monday.

One person is currently hospitalised with the virus. 41 people are currently in quarantine, with another 22 in isolation. The 14-day incidence of infection per 100,000 people is now 3.8, down from 6.3 earlier this week, while incidence at border screening is now at 2.5, where it was earlier this week.

153,725 people have so far been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus as of June 17th, marking an increase of about 10,000 people from earlier this week. Note that “fully vaccinated” means at least two weeks have passed since receiving both vaccinations. 85,089 vaccinations are underway, while 238,814 people have received at least the first dose.
