The spokeswoman said seven people had recovered from the coronavirus.
She said it was critical "everyone in all our local communities" continued to practice social distancing to minimise the risk of the transmission of COVID-19.
"This is important for everyone, but particularly for older people and people with health conditions that make them more vulnerable," she said.
"It's also important that we protect our healthcare workers who we need to stay well to provide care to people who become sick with COVID-19.
