Of the 13 new cases of covid-19 registered today in Madeira, seven are transmitted locally.

In relation to these cases, the report released a few moments ago by IASAÚDE indicates that the epidemiological investigation of one of the recently diagnosed cases made it possible to identify some risky contacts, having identified today a set of positive cases that includes two workers from the Security Institute Madeira Social and three members of the household of one of these professionals (namely, two young students and another adult)

Faced with this situation, the Madeira Social Security Institute, two schools in the municipality of Funchal and the municipality of this municipality were informed that they activated the respective contingency plans.

The epidemiological investigation of another confirmed case this week also allowed the identification of another positive case, which will be the origin of the transmission. The epidemiological investigation of this case is ongoing.

Today another case of local transmission was identified, in association with a newly diagnosed imported case. This is a young man who was already accompanied by the health authorities and remained in isolation for a week, after contact with the imported case.
