COVID-19 outbreaks in hospitals and care facilities will be included in the calculation of the coronavirus incidence, starting next week, DSU chief Raed Arafat told Digi24.
„Starting with the next By decision of the government, CNSU decided that the outbreaks will be introduced, at the request of the Ministry of Health and the INSP. We will not remove some outbreaks from the calculation, which still means an increase in incidence, because outbreaks will also enter the calculation, ”said Arafat.
He added that the measure will come into effect after the government’s decision on the matter, in the middle of next week.
These are outbreaks in hospitals and centers. be careful, that until now had not been included in the calculation of the incidence.
„I don’t have the calculations in front of me, but the impact will not be extraordinarily high, but it will still be a more accurate calculation, according to INSP colleagues, because it will take into account the total. After several discussions, it has arrived, considering the decline and the fact that the number of tests is 30,000 and we have a positive rate that lately is quite low, not to leave out the outbreaks, “he said.
Arafat says this could influence the scenario in which schools operate, for example, only if the currently calculated index is at the limit, before 1 or 3 per thousand.
„An impact will probably appear, we will see what the next 14 days are like. You have seen that few countries have kept their schools closed. At the same time, we are now on a stage and I must point out that the stages used by 1 and 3 to me In schools, if my information is correct, it is possible to include outbreaks in these scenarios. I mean that when we make the change, we have to check it, I know that the shoots are included so that there is no radical change, “he said. Arafat added.
