The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, said: ‘Today’s news of continued losses in our community is tragic and my deepest sympathies go to the families and friends of the deceased.

‘Gibraltar has now administered the first dose of the vaccine to around 1/3 of the population. This is extremely welcome news and gives us some light in these dark days. My sincerest thanks go to everyone whose hard work has made this logistically very difficult task possible.

‘Please register for the vaccine if you haven’t already and accept it when it’s your turn. Until then, do your part by following the rules. Stay at home, wear a mask if you have to go out, wash your hands, and call 111 as soon as you notice symptoms.’
