Please note: As of Friday 18th February we no longer publish COVID-19 stats daily and instead publish weekly on a Tuesday.

Tuesday 2 August 2022 - We have 366 (known) active cases of COVID-19 in the Bailiwick. 248 new cases have been identified in the last week and 384 people have recovered. Of the 366 current active cases, 360 are in Guernsey, 5 are in Alderney and fewer than 5 are in Sark.

Of the 248 new cases, 177 are symptomatic community cases, 13 are through community surveillance, 47 are contacts of a known case and 11 are travel related.

Vaccination status of active cases: of the 366 (known) active cases, 36 are unvaccinated, fewer than 5 are partially vaccinated, 44 are fully vaccinated and 282 are fully vaccinated + boosted.

There are 2 patients in hospital in the Bailiwick with a recent COVID-19 diagnosis.

Occasionally, the total number of known active cases may not increase or decrease in line with the reported positive cases and recoveries from the daily report. This is due to back-dated LFT cases. These are not included in the daily report but are back-dated in the total number of positive cases.

Negative Results – These figures are no longer being reported on as routine PCR testing has been withdrawn

We have recently changed the way we report COVID-19 deaths. Please see the definitions below.

* Awaiting results indicates people who have had a swab taken and are awaiting a result and does not include inbound travel swabs.

** Deaths due to COVID-19 are deaths with a confirmed underlying cause of COVID-19 following completion of clinical coding by the Office for National Statistics.

*** Additional deaths involving COVID-19 are deaths not yet coded where COVID-19 is mentioned as a cause anywhere on the death certificate. In most but not all instances these will be deaths among active COVID-19 cases and in most but not all cases these deaths will be found to have an underlying cause of COVID-19 when clinical coding has taken place.

The total number of positive cases may not always equal the total number of recovered cases plus the total number of deaths. This is because we are reporting all deaths considered to be from COVID-19, not just the deaths which were confirmed through testing to have COVID-19 (i.e. COVID-19 may feature on a death certificate, but a PCR test may not have taken place before the death occurred).
