Tuesday’s epidemiological bulletin is released 85 more deaths from Covid-19 in Portugal, making it the second deadliest day since the pandemic began in the country. This daily increase takes Portugal beyond the 4,000 death mark, now adding a total of 4,056 deaths from Covid-19.
Despite the high number of deaths (11 more than the previous day), the number of new cases is decreasing. After the 4,044 registered on Monday, this Tuesday they were diagnosed 3,919 more positive cases of Covid-19. In total, the number of cases since the start of the pandemic is now 268,721.
In hospitals the number of hospitalizations continues to grow at an unprecedented rate since the beginning of this pandemic. The number of hospitalizations amounted to 3,275 (34 more than the previous day) and in intensive care is already 506, after a rise of eight compared to the previous day.
At the same time, the number of people recovered is also the highest since the start of the pandemic. This Tuesday, 7,406 were recovered, a figure that exceeds the 7,290 of November 17. In addition to this indicator, there is also the greatest reduction in active cases since the beginning of the pandemic: there are 3,572 fewer this Tuesday, which represents a negative variation of 4.2%.
However, these last two indicators must be analyzed with cautious optimism, since they are specific indicators that are part of a growing trend in the number of cases.
The negative indicator is the increase in the fatality rate of Covid-19 for two days in a row. The rate increased from 1.50% to 1.51% in the last 24 hours, while in the previous ones it had gone from 1.49% to 1.50%. This is the first time that the fatality rate has increased for two consecutive days since it peaked on June 2, set at 4.37%.
