It has been confirmed that more than 27,200 people are sick in covid-19, of which 602 cases have been reported to the Public Health Authority in the last 24 hours.
“We can see a slow decline in the plateau phase,” Karin Tegmark Wisell, head of the Microbiology Department of the Public Health Authority, said when she presented the figures on Tuesday.
Between Monday and On Tuesday, 57 people were reported dead on covid-19. The death toll is now 3,313. To better see the trend in the figures, the Public Health Authority calculates the average value for seven days. This average is now around 70 deaths per day.
On Tuesday he received 439 intensive care in Sweden. At the end of April, the figure was over 500. In the intensively treated number, the decrease is clearer than in the confirmed case figures.
– We believe this is because medical indication sampling is done on additional and broader indications, so even people who are not as seriously ill are now most likely included in the statistics, says Karin Tegmark Wisell .
Beyond the usual numbers. The Public Health Authority also showed other measures on Tuesday, which are used to get a picture of the spread of the infection in society. Karin Tegmark Wisell showed how large the proportion of all covid-19 positive test subjects is.
– Shows an increase in the number of samples taken, but not the same increase in confirmed positive cases. This is a sign that we do not have a real increase in the number of cases in society.
Figures on how other diseases spread in society can give an idea of the effects of social distancing. On Tuesday, the Public Health Authority released figures on the spread of seasonal flu and the RS virus.
– When we presented advice and recommendations, the prevalence of influenza appeared and the same was true for RS viruses. They are still low. We also see that the use of respiratory antibiotics is declining, as a sign that we have reduced morbidity in respiratory infections in society at large.
Week 14 and week 17 According to a survey by the Public Health Authority, the proportion of sick people at Covid-19 in Stockholm was approximately the same level, which was 2.5 and 2.3 percent, respectively. 0.9 percent of those analyzed in the country as a whole tested positive for covid-19. Another study like this will take place on week 22, that is, in two weeks.
– These data now enter our model to try to predict how many people have had the disease in Sweden in total, says Karin Tegmark Wisell.
