The 4428 patients are more than we have seen in previous days, but they are still lower than the number of cases above 6,000 in the previous weeks. The impact of the restrictions had already been felt the day before and the trend was clearly on the decline, so the data for one day did not indicate whether it was a prominent number. The following days will show if the downtrend has persisted. As you can see, there is significant volatility in the daily case number curve, so no inference should be made from today’s pending data alone.

Unfortunately, the death toll today is woefully high, not far behind the previous peak of over 190. We’ve also seen a trend-like decline here in the days before, so we could have expected it to continue in the next few days. . However, as the number of cases has decreased in the previous days, it is expected that this will also appear in the mortality statistics in the coming days.

The number of hospitalized and ventilated patients continued to decline during the previous 24 hours. Unfortunately, a component of this change is high mortality, but the number of new hospital admissions and ventilators has lagged behind. This indicates a slowdown in the epidemic.

More details coming soon.
