The incidence value in three counties in the North region is more than double the average for the region, according to data from the North Regional Health Administration.
The report of the Northern Regional Health Administration (ARS-N), to which Lusa had access, reports the epidemiological evolution in the provinces of the Northern region as of October 26, the day the General Health Directorate (DGS ) stopped publishing maps by county.
According to the document, between the last week of October [de 27 outubro a 2 novembro] and the first week of November [3 novembro a 9 novembro] the counties of Paços de Ferreira, Lousada and Vizela registered values higher than the average incidence in the region, which is 1,146 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days.
The three regions belong to the list of 121 municipalities covered by the civic duty of home collection, with new hours in establishments and mandatory teleworking due to covid-19.
In Paços de FerreiraIn the district of Porto, the incidence recorded between the two weeks is set at 3,948 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days.
At the time, Lousada, in the district of Porto, reports an incidence of 3,749 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days and, Vizela, in the district of Braga, of 2,782 cases.
Although these are the municipalities in the Northern region that have the highest incidence value, there are still 15 counties that exceed the average incidence in the region.
In the Aveiro district, Oliveira de Azeméis is the municipality that exceeds this value, as well as the municipalities of Fafe, Guimarães and Vila Nova de Famalicão, in the Braga district.
In Bragança, the municipality that follows this trend is Freixo de Espada à Cinta and, in the Vila Real district, it is the municipality of Murça.
However, it is in the Porto district where the counties with the highest incidence in the northern region predominate, namely Amarante, Felgueiras, Marco de Canaveses, Matosinhos, Paredes, Penafiel, Porto, Santo Tirso and Trofa.
The 121 municipalities covered by the most restrictive measures have more than 240 cases of contagion with a new coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, a criterion used by the Government to update the list of municipalities subject to 15-day restrictive measures.
This criterion was defined by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, with an exception for outbreaks located in low-density counties.
The covid-19 pandemic caused at least 1,285,160 deaths in more than 52.1 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a report by the French agency AFP.
