The Ministry of Health published this morning (Friday) the coronary heart disease data, which shows that the infection rate recorded in the last day, the R, is the lowest since December and stands at 0.79.
It was further reported that 3,011 new verified patients were diagnosed yesterday, and that the percentage of positive tests stands at 6.2% after 49,867 tests were performed in the past day. Of the 48,531 active patients, 940 were hospitalized in critical condition and 24 died as a result of the virus.
According to an AMN report, each patient infects on average less than one person – a sign of a decline in the spread of the plague. However, the positive rate stands at 7% on a weekly average.
The report also shows that there is a clear decrease in the rate of verified and serious morbidity among adults aged +60, due to the vaccination campaign. Due to the widespread extent of morbidity and the fact that a significant proportion of the population has not yet been vaccinated, a change in the age mix of patients does not at this stage lead to a significant reduction in morbidity.
