Coronavirus: 788 Admissions in the Last Week – Six New Intubations, 35 Deaths

In the corresponding week of 2023, the number of admissions was 306

Newsroom July 25 04:54

The increase in SARS-CoV-2 positivity in the community continues. Hospitalizations saw a significant rise, reaching 788 in the last week, along with a rise in deaths from COVID-19 infection. The new F456L and R346T mutations are prevalent, according to the EODY epidemiological report for the period of July 15-21.

However, these mutations have not been linked to an increased risk of severe disease. EODY recommends that vulnerable groups (elderly and people with underlying conditions) strictly adhere to preventive measures against respiratory infections and seek early medical advice if symptoms arise to ensure timely treatment. Additionally, the general population is advised to limit contact with vulnerable individuals if they exhibit respiratory infection symptoms.
