The Northern Marianas has recorded two new Covid-19 cases, raising the total to 124.
The Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation says the two individuals were identified by travel screening and moved to the designated quarantine facility.
The mass inoculation with the Pfizer vaccines in Saipan continues, with government employees now in line.
The first recipients were mainly front-line staff, such as nurses, doctors, and others in the healthcare sector as well as elderly people.
The governor, Ralph Torres, who was the second person in the CNMI to get vaccinated, also announced that Moderna vaccines were also set to be rolled out on Rota and Tinian.
The CNMI has now gone 137 days without local Covid-19 transmission.
Of the 124 cases so far, 98 were identified by travel screening.
