NO New Isle Of Wight Coronavirus Cases For Second Day This Week

No new coronavirus cases have been recorded for the second time this week.

Just one case was recorded yesterday (Tuesday), and none were registered in Monday's figures.

The Island's rolling rate has risen slightly however. It now stands at 16.9, per 100,000. The UK average is 55.4.

When looking at Upper Tier Local Authorities, the Island ranks as the eleventh lowest in the country for seven-day averages.

The rate is used to measure patterns or trends in the Government's coronavirus figures over a period of seven days.

Since the start of the pandemic, 6,728 cases have been registered here.

In total, 281 people have now died on the Isle of Wight after testing positive for the illness.

One more death was recorded at the Isle of Wight's hospital, as previously reported.
