The acceleration of the pandemic for the first time since 2021. January 1 turned positive and reached +10 percent. This is said to be due to an increase in the percentage of positive tests as test volumes decrease.
The number of cases increased in 24 Lithuanian municipalities and the percentage of positive tests increased in 32 municipalities, the highest figure since mid-December. Also last week, for the first time since early November, fewer than 1,000 people died in Lithuania.
We present the analyst’s detailed observations.
1) Dynamics of cases and investigation: The number of new cases detected per day remained stable and the proportion of positive tests among all those carried out in Lithuania was growing. The number of municipalities in the black zone has also increased, as has the number of cases and the proportion of positive investigations.
a. On average, 480 new cases were registered in 7 days (484 a week ago), the proportion of positive tests was 7.8%. (a week ago – 7.1 percent), and the number of new cases in 14 days was 100,000. the population was 243 (a week ago – 270).
B. Distribution of municipalities by zones Last week and the week before, the east of Lithuania changed from a red zone to a black zone, and the north-west, from a red zone to a yellow one.
D. The acceleration of the pandemic turned positive for the first time this year and reached +10 percent. (Although the number of new cases decreased slightly, the percentage of positive tests increased by 10% during the week.)
me. Currently, there are 24 municipalities in Lithuania, where the number of new cases is growing (17 a week ago). There has also been a significant increase in the number of municipalities where the percentage of positive surveys has increased: there are now 34 (21 a week ago). These are early indicators of a deteriorating epidemiological situation and are currently at their highest levels since mid-December.
2) Like the number of new cases, so does number of patients in hospitals last week it fell less than in a few more weeks, but it takes at least a week to assess whether this trend is sustainable.
3) Related to COVID-19 last week * deaths were recorded 201 (96 cases identified COVID-19 as a direct cause; another 105 died within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test). The death rate has reached a fixed level in early November and after a 3-month break, we had less than 1,000 deaths per week in Lithuania.
