The number of patients is at its lowest level since October and is well below the peak of the virus in January, when the hospital had 126 patients receiving care.
Last week, the hospital restored patient visits for the first time since last November as pressures from the coronavirus eased.
The hospital is also looking for more volunteers for a Covid vaccine and flu vaccine trial which will take place at the Royal United Hospitals from today (Monday April 19).
Those who have received their first dose of a Covid vaccine, but not the second, are encouraged to participate.
