The situation must be assessed at least during the last seven days, where there were also several holidays, emphasizes the SPKC.

According to the observations of the SPC, the proportion of positive tests has risen to 6.6%, which was an average of 5.8% seven days ago. In turn, the intensity of the increase in morbidity has decreased over the last seven days.

The SPKC also emphasized that still every second patient with Covid-19 cannot tell where they are infected – they have been at work, at home, traveling by public transport, meeting relatives.

Epidemiologists call for reduced contacts, but if necessary to meet, to keep a distance of two meters, as well as to agree with the employer on telework, to create their own “social bubble”, assessing all the risks.

It is reported that 7204 Covid-19 tests were performed in the last day, 642 new cases were registered, as well as seven deaths, according to information gathered by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (SPKC).

This is the highest number of positive cases per day.

It has already been reported that the government has decided to declare a state of emergency throughout the country for four weeks, or from November 9 to December 6. Text of the order of the Cabinet of Ministers available here.
