The government on Thursday reported 29 new local cases of Covid-19, lifting the total to 2,672, and three new deaths, increasing the toll to 46.

The number of recovered cases is now 1,593 -- a substantial increase of 96 overWednesday's figures. 

Thursday's tally of new cases was slightly lower than the 30 recorded on Wednesday.

The highest daily toll to date was the 188 recorded on March 22. Because testing has so far been limited, the actual number of cases may be higher.

The average age of Covid-19 patients was 37. The oldest was 91 and the youngest just 1 month.
