Three Further Coronavirus Cases Confirmed On Isle Of Wight

Three further cases of coronavirus have been confirmed on the Isle of Wight, according to latest figures. Public Health England says the total number of positive cases here now stands at 56. That number was at 53, as Isle of Wight Radio previously reported. Earlier today (Monday), an eleventh death was confirmed at St Mary's Hospital. Read more here. Another 717 deaths, relating to coronavirus, have been registered in UK hospitals. That brings the total to 11,329, but it is thought the true figure is higher as not all stats are collected over the weekend. On the Island, there have been nine recoveries so far, according to the Isle of Wight NHS Trust. Government advice We’re told to continue following the government’s instructions to help save lives: Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home). If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times. Wash your hands as soon as you get home.
