The number of infected people jumped in the region. The responsibility disappears, warns the epidemiologist

According to the regional epidemiologist Růžena Haliřová, the asymptomatic course and irresponsibility of individuals who go to work or go to mass events, even though they obviously have health problems, contribute to the spread of the disease.

Each event means dozens of contacts

The number of positive cases where people have been outside the region at such an event is rising. It was similar in the Prague club Techtle Mechtle, where only one person brought the covid.

“In a similar context, we record cases where a person came to a sports or social event with symptoms of the disease and infected other participants. Each major event – family celebrations, sports and cultural events, recreation – then means dozens of other contacts, especially in the family and employment. Thanks to the indication of sampling, we record positive results and trace further contacts, which affects the overall epidemiological situation in the region, “described Haliřová.

Most new cases were added in the Prostějov and Šumpersk regions. According to the Ministry of Health, there are 13.8 people with a positive infection per 100,000 inhabitants in the Prostějov region in the last 7 days, and 9.1 in the Šumpersk region.

In the Olomouc region it is 5, similarly in the Přerov region and in the Jesenice region it is zero these days.

Don’t go to the team with difficulty!

Epidemiologists are seeing people approach as in the seasons of common acute respiratory infections.

Patients again underestimate the basic rules that reduce the risk of spreading respiratory disease.

“Especially at this time, when the priority is monitoring Covid-19, it is necessary to pay attention to your health. Autumn will again see an increase in acute respiratory diseases, including influenza, which will fundamentally affect the coronavirus situation, “Haliřová emphasized.

“Unfortunately, the responsibility is minimal for many people and traveling around the country and interstate supports the spread of the disease. If a person is in a state of discomfort, he should not go to any team, “she repeated.

In the Olomouc region, epidemiologists registered 994 cases of Covid-19 since the beginning of the epidemic on Friday, and 885 people were cured. 23 people died in connection with the infection.

According to Haliřová, most new cases have only mild respiratory symptoms or no described manifestations of the disease. The number of hospitalized and difficult patients in the region has not increased in recent days, but rather decreases.
