Last week, an average of 7,184 tests were performed in a single day (previously 7,234) and 46 new cases of Covid-19 were detected (37 weeks a week earlier), according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (SPCC).

During the last seven days, an average of four Covid-19 patients per day were hospitalized (6 weeks a week earlier) and an average of 53 people were treated daily in hospitals (previously 67). The most pronounced morbidity is still observed among people aged 20-29. Most cases of newly discovered Covid-19 were in Riga and Pieriga.
The reproductive rate (R) of Covid-19 infection has increased to 1.14 (a week earlier – 1.0), which indicates that the prevalence of Covid-19 in Latvia is currently increasing.
The average 14-day cumulative morbidity rate per 100,000 inhabitants of European countries has increased to 151.0 (previously – 89.6), while the indicator of Latvia has decreased to 27.7 (previously 36.1) per 100,000 population.
The proportion of Covid-19 cases imported to Latvia in the previous week reached 27%, and last week they were a total of 87 cases (a week earlier – 57). It can be seen that a large proportion of imported Covid-19 cases come from third countries, accounting for 57% of all imported cases between weeks 24 and 29 this year. The most common cases in Latvia came from Russia – 59 cases, Turkey – 31, Spain – 30, Great Britain – 27, the Netherlands – 14, Finland – 13, France – 12, Georgia – 9, Germany – 7.
During the 28th week (July 12-18), a total of 260 cases of Covid-19 cases were detected, or 13.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants of Latvia. A higher incidence was observed among unvaccinated people, with 18.6 cases per 100,000 unvaccinated people.
Significantly lower morbidity rates have been recorded among people who have completed a full course of vaccination or partially completed a course of vaccination. In cases where vaccination was started, 10.3 cases per 100,000 vaccinated persons were recorded, but for people who have completed a full course of vaccination, this indicator is 3.5.
