EIGHTY-FOUR additional COVID-19 cases were recorded on Wednesday along with three more deaths.

Of the new cases, there were 77 in New Providence, one in Abaco, one in Exuma, one in Grand Bahama, and seven cases listed as location pending.

“It is important to note that for newly confirmed cases results of samples were recorded 24 to 48 hours after the swabbing date,” the Ministry of Health said.

“During another data cleaning exercise, it was discovered that three cases were from the island of New Providence and not from the island of Andros. Hence, the three cases were subtracted from Andros, marked with an asterisk and added to the total confirmed cases for New Providence.”

The death toll is now 130. The new deaths include a 75-year-old New Providence man who died on October 20, a 52-year-old Abaco man who died on October 21 and an 80-year-old New Providence man who died on October 20.
