Three more coronavirus deaths bring toll to 184

The number of coronavirus fatalities has risen to 184 with the deaths of three more patients, the Health Ministry says.

The ministry initially sent out an erroneous report claiming 197 had died — a jump of 18 fatalities — but retracted it minutes later before sending out the correct numbers. Officials said the error was caused by faulty data input into the system.

Meanwhile, the number of virus cases rises to 13,942, with 139 people in serious condition, of which 113 are on ventilators.
