Mr Barr said it was good news that so many of the new cases were linked, but that any new cases showed how important it was to obey lockdown restrictions.
"I can say with a degree of confidence that the lockdown is having its desired effect, but the incubation period for this virus is more than one week and so that's why we've got to stay the course here." "We are prioritising these requests and are prioritising the ones that are coming for essential reasons, but every request will get a response. It just may take us a bit of time to get there," she said.Mr Barr said the "biggest issue" the territory was facing was in securing vaccines.
