However, in a statement earlier today, the directorate said the IT issue had continued to affect operations.

They said an “an appropriate fix” had now been implemented.

“Automated reporting has been reinstated, and historical records are currently being processed and verified. Completion of this historical record processing is expected to be completed this evening,” their statement read.

But it’s now unlikely any COVID-19 reporting will be available until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

All those with positive PCR test results have been notified.

Case numbers for Saturday (4 June), Sunday (5 June) and Monday (6 June) will be published on the COVID-19 website once they become available.

The directorate has once again apologised for any inconvenience caused.
