There are currently 46 positive hospitalizations with Covid19. The number of patients in need of intensive care has increased. 8 of the hospitalized are in intensive care, one of them in intubation. While a patient has come out of intubation thanks to the work of the medical staff of the infectious disease hospital.
The other good news is that in the last 24 hours, 20 people affected by Covid19 have been cured, including 8 health personnel, bringing the number of cured people to 980 since the beginning of the epidemic.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, over 19 thousand molecular and serological tests have been performed and 1341 cases have been confirmed positively.
The number of cases increased on the last day has put the health system on high alert, but at the same time it is an appeal to all citizens to be collaborators in this battle respecting the rules, maintaining distance from each other, keeping masks indoors where it is not possible to maintain distance, maintaining personal hygiene, protecting yourself and others in order to limit as much as possible the spread of Covid19.
Do not neglect any signs of the disease. If you or a relative of yours has clinical signs of Covid19, call the National Emergency Number, 127.
