At 11.88% is the positivity rate for the coronavirus in Greece on Monday, based on official data from EODY, which denies the information circulated on the same day that amounts to more than 20%.
It should be remembered that EODY announced 1,251 new cases of coronavirus on Monday, at a time when the pressure on the health system continues with 600 intubated in ICUs in the country. The death toll in the last 24 hours amounts to 89 of our fellow citizens.
According to information from iefimerida, on Sunday, December 6, 4,421 rapid and 6,105 molecular tests were carried out for the coronavirus.
According to the announcement, 1,251 new cases emerged, raising the positivity rate at 11.88%. Clarify that the positivity index is the percentage of positives in the coronavirus, in the total of the tests carried out.
The positivity rate is at a minimum of 20 days, say from EODY
To be precise, EODY sources point out that the most scientifically correct way to calculate the positivity rate gives an even lower percentage.
