The Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) tested 38 individuals for COVID-19 on Sunday, April 5, 2020 with conclusive results. Seventeen (17) tested positive through DPHSS and 21 tested negative for SARS-CoV-2.
An additional two cases of COVID-19 have been clinically diagnosed. While these cases have tested negative, they have imaging findings consistent with COVID-19, display typical COVID-19 symptoms, have epidemiological links to previously confirmed cases, and are being treated as COVID-19 cases.
The DPHSS overall count also includes nine positive cases that were tested by the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego.
To date, a total of 110 cases tested positive and two were clinically diagnosed with
23 recoveries and four deaths.
