No one is being treated for the virus in hospital.
Five people have now been diagnosed with Covid-19 after arriving at the borders, which reopened on 3 July.
The new case comes on the same day that the Safer Travel Guidelines Review Panel concluded that the decision to reopen Jersey's borders was rushed and made for economic reasons.
In an interim report - the panel, led by St Helier Deputy Rob Ward, called for all arriving passengers to isolate in government-provided accommodation until they receive a negative coronavirus test result.
