One thought on “Covid Update: Active cases drop down by 661

  1. There are 1,164 active covid cases,
    1,088 people in home isolation.

    Where are the 76 active Covid cases that aren’t isolating?
    The isolation number should be at least the same or more if you consider people in isolation waiting for test results.
    So do we have 76 people with no fixed address roaming the streets while positive?
