Jersey's health department figures may not show the "full amount" of active Covid cases on the island, the government has said.
There are 1,492 active cases, according to the latest data. Since 23 June, there have been 1,313 new cases.
The health department said the figures "may not accurately reflect the full amount" of cases, because not everyone has done a PCR test.
Eleven people are currently in hospital with Covid-19 in Jersey.
Since 23 June, 762 patients have also recovered from Covid-19, the latest data shows.
