Lenert also noted that people who might be particularly at risk are prioritised when it comes to testing and reiterated that the virus is not deadly for the vast majority of people.

According to the latest information released by the Ministry of Health on Tuesday 24 March, Luxembourg now has 1,099 confirmed infections.
This is a rise of 224 since Monday evening's data was released. There has been no increase in the number of deaths.
Of the eight deceased prior to today's update, four were confirmed to be over 80 years old and had previous medical conditions.

This is the largest single-day increase we have seen to date, as you can see in the graph below. However, that does not mean that the strategy the government has adopted is not working. The article linked above the graph may also be of interest, and goes into a bit more detail on how to view these statistics.
