A little over two months after the start of the emergency due to the pandemic of COVID-19, the only positive cases of the virus on the island were placed this Wednesday at 2,866 with 62 new infections.

While, the total deaths amounted to 125 with the death of a 70-year-old woman from the Ponce region that was reported through the Demographic Registry.

Health also adjusted the number of deaths confirmed by the Surveillance System and those certified by the Demographic Register to 59 and 66, respectively, after “analyzing and evaluating the cases.”

“The fatality added through the Demographic Registry increases the total number of deaths from COVID-19 to 125, between confirmed and probable cases. Likewise, a duplicate positive case was identified by means of molecular testing, which resulted in the reduction of one case under that line, “the agency detailed in a press release.

Health said that the total positive results of serological tests was placed at 1,660 after all the new cases today were processed with this test. Given this, the positive results of molecular tests were maintained at 1,206. The universal number of confirmed cases corresponds to 1,433 women and 1,433 men.

As has been the custom for the past two weeks, Salud does not report daily the number of tests carried out on the island. It is also not known how much recovered and active cases amount to.

Meanwhile, the number of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 fell to 110, 11 less than those reported yesterday. Of that total, 13 are confined in an Intensive Care Unit and five remain connected to an artificial respirator.
