A technical glitch has delayed the Ministry of Health's usual 1pm Covid-19 update by almost four hours.

New Covid cases climbed to 11,217 on Wednesday with 13 deaths recorded.

Nationwide, there are 547 people in hospital with Covid-19. Of those, 14 people are in ICU or in a high dependency unit.

On Tuesday, 8270 new Covid-19 cases were detected in the community.

The ministry said the IT network issue that affected the reporting of most of the data earlier, has now been resolved.
