We are in the ascending phase of the second wave: the death toll may increase in 4-5 weeks – warned Cecília Müller at the press conference of the operative tribe. In support of this, the national medical director said that the new number of cases has approached a thousand people in a week. In the last 24 hours alone, the number of infected people has increased by 927 and nine have lost their lives. They were between 57 and 92 years old and all suffered from underlying cardiovascular or cancerous disease. Although more and more young people are infected, serious diseases continue to affect the elderly.
Cecília Müller said that 668,553 coronavirus tests have been performed since the outbreak began. There are currently 16,464 active infections, a clear increase. Therefore, a plan of action has been defined: a list of health authorities dealing with suspected cases has been drawn up. Those who find it positive end up in 29 first-line hospitals, ten of which are located in the capital.
We are in a state of epidemiological preparedness, so the concentrated defense has begun
Cecília Müller said. This also means that many healthcare workers are redirected to places where their work is most needed. She was particularly grateful for her position. She also thanked the population for their cooperation, which she said has been increasingly exemplary since the austerity measures went into effect a week ago.
The national medical director warned that there were many counterfeits in the markets, so be careful to use only authorized hand sanitizers, but he also warned that it is useless to use sanitizer if you don’t wash your hands properly. Here, too, the time factor is important to have the 20-30 seconds in which we rub our hands and
pay special attention to the fingertips, the spaces between the fingers and the thumb, which are almost always overlooked.
The national medical director also spoke about the fact that there are almost no paid test requests, since those who want to take the test on their own when they return home from abroad are much less than during the summer vacation season.
The vast majority of the 668,000 investigations are of epidemiological interest. Either because someone suspects or because the authority orders it.
The course of the examination seems that if someone feels ill, they tell their GP, who sends the sampling unit of the National Ambulance Service. Nobody has to pay for such a test.
