There are an additional 14 deaths under investigation.

Of the new cases confirmed on Tuesday, there were 104 on New Providence, 10 on Eleuthera, seven on the Berry Islands and five on Grand Bahama.

“It is noteworthy to mention that a data cleaning exercise was performed on the total confirmed cases by islands. It was discovered that some cases were from the island of New Providence and not from the Family Island previously indicated,” the ministry said.

This exercise resulted in a case being subtracted from Long Island, Bimini, Cat Island and Andros.

These four cases were added to the New Providence total, which stood at 4,645 up to yesterday.
