In that period, 972,722 recoveries have been confirmed and 2,335 deaths. The number of active cases stands at 18,627. The latest infections were detected as a result of an additional 206,905 PCR tests. More than 177.7 million tests have been conducted to date. Tuesday's case numbers were the lowest since June 9, when 1,031 positive tests were announced. Daily figures have declined steadily in recent weeks after a surge in infections in June. Case numbers topped 1,800 on July 3 — having dropped below 200 in early May — but have now remained under 1,500 for more than two weeks. Authorities have urged the public to remain committed to key safety measures, such as isolating after a positive test and wearing masks when mandated, to help support the country's Covid-19 recovery strategy.
