There are four new cases of Covid-19 in managed isolation.
The figures were released by the Health Ministry around 1 pm on Saturday. One is the seventh member of the Pakistani cricket team.
It comes after seven new cases of Covid-19 were announced on Friday, all in a controlled manner.

The team, which is housed at the Chateau on the Park in Christchurch, was previously criticized by Director General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield for violating rules within the facility.
They were seen on CCTV mingling, sharing food and chatting with others, he said.
The reported violations occurred within the tour group and did not affect other guests on the premises.
Compliance with the rules has “improved significantly” since then, the ministry said.
All six players have been transferred to quarantine rooms inside the Chateau on the Park.
Meanwhile, Samoa has reported a second suspected case of Covid-19.
He is a 70-year-old man who was on the same repatriation flight from Auckland as the first suspected case, a sailor who was based in Europe.
