The share of new covid-19 cases in the number of tests has increased

The daily increase in confirmed cases last week on weekdays ranged from Monday’s 209 to Friday’s 323 positive tests, which was the third highest increase since the beginning of the epidemic in the Czech Republic.

On Saturday and Sunday, as on the previous weekend, the number of people infected fell below 200. At the same time, as on previous weekends, the number of tests dropped sharply, from around seven to eight thousand on weekdays to only 5,159 on Saturday and 2,740 on Sunday. . Sunday’s share of new infections in the number of tests thus exceeded four percent after two weeks.

So far, 100 new infections have been added so far, so 18,454 cases of the disease have been confirmed since the epidemic began in the country in March. Over 70 percent of those infected have already recovered from the disease. According to the Ministry, the number of patients with covid-19, whose number reached the highest values ​​since the beginning of the epidemic last week, continues to increase.

Currently, 5081 people are suffering from the disease. The number of deaths from people infected with coronavirus has not risen in recent days, remaining at 390 since Thursday. 106 people are hospitalized in hospitals.

According to Chief Hygienist Jarmila Rážová, the situation is not alarming. According to her, the crucial thing is that the number of hospitalized and people in serious condition is not growing. According to the data, 106 people were treated with covid-19 on Monday evening, 20 of whom were in severe condition.

The most affected region is still Frýdek-Místek, where there are about 82 newly recorded cases of covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days. It is followed by the Klatovy region with more than 38 cases and the city of Prague and the Kolín district with more than 27 cases. The district of Prague-East has about 24 people infected per 100,000 inhabitants last week.

On Monday, the Ministry of Health published a map of regions according to the degree of risk of infection with covid-19, the so-called traffic light. Only the city of Prague and the Frýdek-Místek district, which are on the green level, were listed as the first of the three regions on the map as increased risk. Other regions are white at the traffic light, ie with zero or negligible risk of infection. According to the chief hygienist, the situation has improved in most regions. At the first traffic light, introduced by the ministry last Monday, nine regions were on the green and the others were white.
