Despite the recent spike in Covid cases, there is no cause for alarm the Director of Public Health has told GBC.
Dr Helen Carter says the high number of new cases, 246 according to the last statistics, is the result of the BA.5 Omicron Variant.
There are 30 cases in Elderly Residential Services, and six in the COVID-19 Ward at St Bernard's Hospital.
However, she says given that hospitalisations remain low, there are no current plans to change Gibraltar's Covid strategy.
