The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Iceland has climbed to 81, mbl.is reports. Sixteen new cases were confirmed yesterday. As of yesterday evening, a total of 710 samples had been analyzed, 93 of them yesterday.

About 600 people are in quarantine, and another 70 are in isolation.

Two teachers and close to 50 students at Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð junior college are in quarantine after one of the students was found to be infected with COVID-19.

The student attended classes on Thursday and Friday last week and came down with the disease on Sunday night. He was tested for the virus right away. The junior college is expected to operate as usual this week.

Such is not the case with the Supreme Court of Iceland. The presentation of a case involving former heads of Landsbanki, scheduled for today, has been postponed, since one of the judges is in quarantine.

Numerous events scheduled to take place at Harpa Concert Hall have been postponed or canceled. These include the food market Matarmarkaður Búrsins (postponed), the annual party of the Icelandic Coast Guard, the 2020 Reykjavík Open chess championship (canceled), and Eve Fanfest (canceled). No major international conferences, though, have been postponed.
