Data released this Thursday, in the daily epidemiological bulletin of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), reveal that there are 228 Portuguese municipalities with at least three confirmed cases of Covid-19.
The municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the island of Terceira, Azores, joins the DGS list, with four cases of infection by the new coronavirus, after it was removed from the document on March 31.
According to the same document, in the last 24 hours there have been 331 new cases across the country. However, the data referring to the counties, account for 348 new infected. THE Renaissance, the General Directorate of Health states that “there are always correct data in municipalities, either due to delay in notification or due to the relocation of the user in the area of residence”.
The director of the infectious disease service at Hospital Curry Cabral had already admitted, also in an interview with Renascença, delays in registering data at SINAVE.
Lisbon (+50), Amadora (+41), Porto (+40) Loures (+33), Odivelas (+25), and Vila Franca de Xira (+20), according to the DGS list. According to the same bulletin, 51 counties register at least one more confirmed case of Covid-19 compared to the previous day and eight counties add up to a thousand infected: Lisbon, Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, Matosinhos, Braga, Sintra, Gondomar and Loures.
Knowing that the accounting will not be relative to the total number of cases – nor will it simultaneously monitor the data reported by the municipalities – DGS opted to provide only data from SINAVE, the national epidemiological surveillance system (91% of the total confirmed cases).
