Several of the patients passed away earlier in the week, but their deaths were not reported earlier because they have not been officially certified. The total number of people testing positive for coronavirus on the islands stood at 1,257 by today, 53 more than on Thursday. There are currently 112 Covid-19 patients in intensive care.
