The information available to the SPKC shows that one patient has returned from abroad, but communication has been initiated with three. The epidemiological investigation is ongoing.

A total of 220,827 examinations were performed in Latvia, 1,307 persons became ill and 1,078 recovered, 32 died.

There are no inpatients with Covid-19 in the last 24 hours. A total of three patients are treated in hospitals, all with moderate disease.

A total of 198 patients were discharged from the hospital, according to the National Health Service.

Last day, the disease with Covid-19 was detected in Nīca municipality for the first time, but it has returned to Ozolnieki municipality, according to the data compiled by SPKC.

One person is ill in both counties.

In turn, two more cases of infection were registered last day in Jūrmala, where the number of patients with Covid-19 has increased to six people. One infected person was also found in Riga, where the total number of cases of Covid-19 has increased to 85 people.

Although four cases were diagnosed last day, the data collected on Wednesday reduced the number of cases registered in Liepaja by one and, as the center pointed out, the changes took place because the patient’s place of residence was specified, thus five new infections were registered in Latvian municipalities on 12 August.

Two of the new infections are between the ages of 30 and 39, and two more are between the ages of 50 and 59.

In total, Covid-19 is currently detected in 40 Latvian municipalities.

It has already been reported that an emergency situation was declared on 12 March in connection with the spread of Covid-19 throughout Latvia, which ended on 9 June.

World Health Organization (WHO) has named the new coronavirus disease. It is called Covid-19. The name is made up of the words “corona”, “virus” and “disease”. The number 19, in turn, indicates the year in which the outbreak of the virus began. The first reports of the virus outbreak appeared on December 31 last year.
