The Ministry of Health and Wellness has reported that there are six new cases of COVID-19 in Jamaica, which has brought the total number of infections since March to 696.
There were no further recoveries, which means the percentage of persons recovering from the disease regressed marginally to 79 per cent of total cases or stayed at 552 persons.
Five of the new cases were imported from the United States and the remaining individual is a contact of an imported case.
One hundred and thirty-one or close to 19 per cent of total cases are active and under observation, the ministry says.
Jamaica has recorded 10 deaths from COVID-19 since March.
