    Coronavirus By EFE Tuesday, September 8, 2020


    EL NUEVO DIARIO, SANTO DOMINGO.- The Dominican Republic reached the mark of 100,131 coronavirus infections this Tuesday, with a total of 1,889 deaths, according to the Ministry of Public Health.

    In the last 24 hours, 25 new deaths and 233 additional COVID-19 infections were reported, a figure lower than in recent days, which is partly explained by a decrease in the number of new PCR tests processed (2,493).

    The bulletin indicates that the occupancy rate for hospital beds for COVID-19 stands at 27%; that of intensive care beds (ICU), in 44%; and that of fans, in 33%.

    At the end of July, the hospital system came under pressure from a sharp increase in patient admissions, but since then the authorities have worked to expand the number of beds available for COVID-19 patients.

    The mortality rate per million inhabitants stands at 180.79, a figure that exceeds the world average (113.63), but which is much lower than the average for the American continent (469.14).

    The country has been in a state of emergency since July 20 and a day later the curfew has been in force throughout the country, which varies its schedule in different districts depending on the level of incidence of the virus.

    Likewise, the mandatory use of a mask in public places is maintained and the Government urges the population to maintain measures of physical distancing.
