Thirty more patients have been discharged from hospital and a further 233 people have recovered. The ministry reports one more fatality. The total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic is 403.
The latest figure for the number of people who have recovered from coronavirus is 18,983. This is based on 23,112 confirmed cases, but this latter figure depends on the government source, as the main report for Wednesday gives 23,550. Either way, the recovery rate is over 80%.
The R rate, meanwhile, is down to 0.81.
