A further two positive cases of Covid-19 have been identified overnight through contact tracing.
Both new cases were contacts of Monday's 'index case'.
"We are aware of rumour and speculation online about the origin of this cluster of cases, and where the individuals who have tested positive work or have socialised," said a spokesperson for Public Health. "Whilst we are unable to confirm any details regarding the positive cases identified, we can confirm that all necessary public health requirements have been put in place."
Where someone is identified as a potential contact they are swabbed and asked to enter self-isolation for 14 days.
If someone is identified as a contact of a contact, Public Health say you don’t need to do anything and can carry on with your day as usual unless you hear from one of the team's contact tracers.
