A total of 17 out of the 19 reported deaths or 89.5 percent happened in the last seven days.
The remaining deaths happened more than a week ago but were only recorded yesterday due to delays in data reporting.
An average of 25 Covid-19 deaths was reported daily in the last 30 days compared to the seven-day average of 18, indicating a downtrend.
To date, 583 Covid-19 deaths have been reported this month.

Compared to 30 days ago, the number of active cases has fallen by 27.5 percent from 56,231.
The Health Ministry's post-midnight update also provided further insights into the new Covid-19 infections yesterday.
From the 3,074 new cases yesterday, a total of 134 of them could be traced to ongoing Covid-19 clusters.
From the cluster-linked cases, 69 (51.5 percent) were from education institutions while 23 (17.2 percent) were from imported.
