The Strategic Communication Group explained in a press release how to calculate the Covid-19 infection rate during the last 14 days. According to the GCS, it is taken into account when the person’s sample is entered into the system, not when the test center reports that it is centralized.
GCS shows, in a statement cited by Agerpres, the way in which the incidence rate is calculated at 14 days, respectively the coefficient of infections with the new coronavirus accumulated at 14 days reported per 1,000 inhabitants.
So, the number of new positive cases transmitted in the daily newsletter, at 1:00 p.m., represents the total of positive results for people confirmed for the first time and reported up to the date of transmission of the information.
Unlike these data sets, in the methodology for calculating the incidence rate reported in the last 14 days, the Public Health Directorates take into account the number of new positive cases, depending on the date they were uploaded to the computer system .
Thus, the accumulated incidence of propagation in the last 14 days is calculated according to the moment in which the sample of the interested party is entered into the system, and not according to the moment in which the test center informs it for its centralization and then publicly communicated, existing Evidence of positive cases is managed in the computer application, in which the times when samples are taken are filled in separately for each case, processed in the test centers and, subsequently, the results are found . positive “ says GCS.
