The Portuguese region most affected by covid-19, in the last day, was Lisbon and the Tagus Valley (both in terms of infected people, 74 more than 98, and in terms of deaths, five more than nine). But the results of the Centro zone were the most interesting. On the website of the epidemiological bulletin of the General Directorate of Health (DGS) where the number of accumulated cases by region is recorded, on Sunday the Center had 3,581 notifications. This Monday he has 3545. Minus 36. DN, a DGS source, explained that they were “correction of duplications and successes”. In other words, there were patients who were counted twice in this region and, this Monday, that situation has not happened.
In Portugal, in the last 24 hours, nine more people died and 98 more cases of covid-19 were confirmed (a 0.4% increase from the previous day, the lowest growth rate since the start of the pandemic). According to today’s DGS newsletter (May 11), there are now 27,679 infected in the country, 2,549 recovered and 1,144 deaths.
Of the 98 infected people notified on the last day, 74 reside in the Lisbon region and the Tagus Valley. In this area, five of the nine deaths declared today have also died. In total, Lisbon now has 7,316 cases and 248 deaths. Also the well-known RT (the number of infections that each infected person does, over time) is “higher” in this region, although “with decreasing trends,” explained the general director of Health, Graça Freitas, at a press conference, this Monday
It is followed by the North (the region most affected by the pandemic since the outbreak began), which registered an increase of 56 infected people and three deaths in 24 hours. Now it has 16,008 cases and 651 deaths.
The other death (of the nine reported) occurred in the South, which also records two more cases, such as Alentejo. Azores and Madeira show no change in today’s bulletin compared to yesterday’s.
