The Ministry of Public Health (MSP) presented the official COVID-19 figures for this Monday, August 24, 2020 in Ecuador. It reported the results of 1,323 tests processed in the last 24 hours. Of these, 520 (39%) were positive, so that the confirmed cases amount to 108,289; and 803 (61%) were negative, so that the cases discarded increased to 155,720.
In the last two weeks, confirmed cases have increased faster in Imbabura (45%), Carchi (43%), and Tungurahua (35%).
With the latest MSP report, the deaths confirmed by COVID-19 rise to 6322 (12 more than yesterday); while probable deaths from the virus reach 3,664 (2 more than yesterday).
307,742 samples have been taken so far, of which 43,733 are dammed, without result. Ecuador is, along with Bolivia, the country in the region that performs the fewest tests per number of inhabitants.
The MSP reported 80,264 recovered patients last Sunday, equivalent to 81% of all cases confirmed with PCR tests. The Ministry explained that these are people who, 29 days after diagnosis, are still alive. The government will update this figure every week.
