new cases and deaths today, December 20

The health authorities reported that the country reached 1,507,222 cases of COVID-19 and that 40,475 deaths from the disease have already been completed. The people who have already defeated the virus are already 1,373,332.

These figures also indicate that there are 89,330 active cases, about 200 more than those registered last Saturday.

It is still striking that the number of tests dropped significantly compared to those analyzed last Saturday. There were only 43,635, almost 20,000 less.

Of the tests carried out this Sunday, 31,183 were PCR samples and 12,452 were antigen samples. Maybe that’s why the numbers of infections dropped.
