The Ministry of Health has reported two deaths taking the death toll to 700 since the pandemic began in March 2020.
Both cases had pre-existing medical conditions according to Health Permanent Secretary, Dr James Fong.
He said while both these deaths occurred in individuals who have been immunised with 2 doses of the vaccine, they both had significant underlying medical conditions and were over the age of 50.
He adds it is known that these factors place a person at higher risk of severe disease, even if fully vaccinated.
