One new coronavirus case found

The government says it’s found one new coronavirus case overnight.

At today’s press briefing, Health Minister David Ashford said someone who’d traveled to the Island had tested positive on the first day of their self-isolation.

It means the Island currently has 39 active cases, with one person in hospital.

He also revealed the airport vaccination hub will start up at the end of this month.
