A computer glitch that double counted some cases already reported yesterday resulted in today’s case numbers being incorrectly reported as 13,344. The correct figure is 9,318, which is around the same level as case numbers reported for the past 3 days.
A corrected statement is being published on the Ministry website and updated case figures for individual districts are also being published now:
