Decreases the number of active patients since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic
The Minister of Health, Joan Mart?nez Benazet, has announced that the epidemiological results updated this Saturday show a decrease in the number of active cases, which are 500, compared to 504 yesterday. This is the first time this decline has occurred since the pandemic began. The Minister emphasized that "we are entering a phase of decline", but emphasized that "we cannot fall into false optimism because the virus continues in the country." He reiterated that this decrease was due "to measures of social confinement and distance".

The holder of the Health portfolio also reported that there are currently 40 hospitalized patients out of the total number of patients diagnosed. Of these, 24 are on the floor and 16 are in the intensive care unit. As for the number of those who have already received two PCR tests with a negative result and therefore can already be discharged, the number has reached 94 people.
Two deaths in the last hours have increased to 31 the total number of deaths by Covid-19. The Minister of Health emphasized that the incidence of the disease in the country has so far been high, but on the contrary, mortality has been lower than in many other states. Now, he says, confinement must be maintained, but it is time to do screening among the population so that more activities can be opened. Antibody tests will begin next week and volunteers from the scientific field will be recruited to help.
The death of a man and a woman admitted to the hospital increases the deaths to 31 by Covid-19. This is a patient over 80 years old who was on the floor and another patient older than 70 who was intubated in the ICU.
The last count is 659 confirmed positive, 468 active. The number of cured is 160. The Minister of Health emphasized that although the incidence in the country was high, especially at the beginning, the mortality rate is lower in comparison with other European countries. This has been achieved, largely because the collapse of the healthcare system has been avoided.
