One of the cases was discovered while in quarantine.

There have now been 2,550 reported cases including 49 deaths, and 635 active infections.

Despite the rise in cases, public restrictions are due to be eased this weekend, with parks and beaches to be open, although there is a limit of five people per group at such locations.

Sports organisations can now apply for non-contact training.

Child care centres are also to resume and places of worship can operate at 25 percent capacity.
