Why the numbers on the board may differ
The dashboard of the Ministry of Health is a dynamic system and extracts its data from the Epidemiological Population Registry (EMS). The EMS is the official registry in which the district authorities and laboratories enter. According to the Ministry of the Interior, there may be delays in making entries, especially in the morning.
In the Ministry of the Interior, for its part, the figures are collected through a videoconference as part of the coordination of the state management of crises and disasters in the Operations and Coordination Center (EKC). These numbers may include cases that are not yet registered with EMS.
