30 people are now known to have died from Coronavirus in Jersey.
The additional death being reported today actually happened back in March, but wasn't identified as COVID-related at the time.
The Viscount's Department has now confirmed the cause of death following an investigation by the coroner.
"The additional COVID death appearing in today’s figures occurred in March and was referred to the Viscount. This is therefore not the registration of a contemporaneous death." -Government statement
