It cannot confirm whether the symptoms were related to coronavirus for reasons of medical confidentiality.
OGUK HSE Director Trevor Stapleton said: “This apparent reduction is a small move in the right direction, but we can’t stress enough the need to remain alert, to continue to follow protocols and to raise any concerns in both on and offshore working environments.”
The organisation is currently collaborating with worker safety group Step Change in Safety for better and more widespread virus testing of workers.
