3 Covid-19 cases

Three active COVID-19 cases in Solomon Islands

One of the confirmed cases is a student who arrived from Manila on 21 January 2021, said Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.

He said the other two cases are two soccer players who are previously tested negative which were again tested positive.

SIBC reports they are the soccer players who returned from the United Kingdom (UK).

“This means we have three positive Covid-19 cases, only one of whom is new and the other two are reactivations. However, the reactivated cases do not alter our official numbers, which remain at 18,” he said.
