The total number of cases detected since the start of the pandemic now stands at 137,917. Monday's total is usually the lowest of the week in absolute numbers due to a relatively small number of tests being carried out on Sundays.
Of 3,602 tests carried out in the past 24 hours, 0.5% were positive, consistent with the rate over the last two weeks.
The 14-day cumulative infection rate per 100,000 inhabitants ticked down slightly from 36.4 Sunday to 35.8 Monday.
