The figures follow a rise of four hospital patients yesterday - and a total of five new deaths reported yesterday in all settings.
Yesterday's rise in the number of cases also marked the sixth straight day it has been over 1,000. In its daily update, the Government said 1,040 new positive tests for Covid-19 were confirmed yesterday, taking the country's total to 318,484 since the outbreak began.
