*DGS NOTE:
The figures for this Monday are the result of a change in the data analysis system. The daily difference in these fields is calculated from the previous day’s data. However, the accumulated data has historically been updated, resulting in +4375 confirmed cases, +13529 recovered cases, and -9154 active cases. This update of the accumulated number of confirmed cases translates into +2101 cases in the northern region, +1745 cases in the LVT region, +286 cases in the Alentejo region, +163 cases in the Algarve region, +52 cases in the Madeira region, + 29 cases in the Center region and -1 case in the Azores region.
To what POSTCARD found up to November 12 (eight days ago), the the total of confirmed cases of Covid-19 amounted to 3803 (DGS today presents 4,549, plus 90), with 41 deaths to mourn (DGS counts 40).
Until Thursday, November 12, the municipalities of Faro [223], Portimão [215], Loulé [186] and Albufeira [149] had the highest number of confirmed active cases [ver quadro].
The number of active and recovered cases by municipality is shown in the previous graph.
Unfortunately, DGS and most municipalities in the Algarve no longer regularly publish Covid-19 numbers by county of cases, making it difficult to understand the daily evolution in the region.
These data are based on the information available from the Algarve Regional Health Entity and the Algarve municipalities that make this information available, either officially or unofficially.
