Sixty-three people recovered and were discharged from isolation.  The number of active cases now stand at 628.

The 30 new cases comprised 12 men and 18 women.  Three of them had been sent to the Harrison Point Isolation Facility for assessment to determine whether they were in fact newly positive, or had the virus in the past and were no longer infectious.

Twenty-seven of them are Barbadians.
