0.9% of the tests performed yesterday were positive. Yuri Perevoshchikov, Director of the Infectious Diseases Risk Analysis and Prevention Department at the SPKC, previously explained that this figure is considered important in the European Union (EU) because, beyond the 3% threshold, the spread of the disease is considered rapid and uncontrolled.
