Bermuda continues to experience more positive cases of Covid-19 especially returning residents arriving by air as reported in the Royal Gazette on Monday 17th August as follows:-

"Three positive cases of Covid-19 were imported on the JetBlue flight from New York on Friday, the Ministry of Health reported over the weekend.

The remaining 880 test results were negative.

The latest round of results brought the island’s total confirmed positive cases to 162.
