A further 133 coronavirus cases have been added to the Isle of Wight's tally today (Saturday).

Some dated to December, bringing the number of positive tests on the Island last month to 997 - nearly half the cumulative total since records started.

In total, since March, there have been 1,987 cases of coronavirus on the Isle of Wight. 

Today's tally actually represents a fall when compared to yesterday's daily total.

As the Isle of Wight County Press previously reported, 175 positive tests were added to the government data on Friday.

The latest rolling average rate for the Isle of Wight, comparing cases per 100,000 in the seven days to December 28, has now risen to 253.2.

It remains below the national average, however.
