Covid-19 in Luxembourg: more than 3,000 cases, no new hospitalization
Dans a la une Updated 08/04/20 17:59 | Posted on 08/04/20 17:44
Of these 3,034 infections precisely identified, 510 people are non-residents. The average age is 46, with a male / female ratio of 50.4% and 49.6%. This represents an increase of 64 new cases in the last 24 hours, half as much as the day before.
Two additional deaths are to be deplored between Tuesday and Wednesday, which brings the death toll to 46 dead (the patient from Grand Est who died is not counted by the authorities). The median age of the victims is 86 years.
In addition, 231 people are currently hospitalized - identical data the day before - including 34 in intensive care (figure which does not include the 10 patients from the Grand Est). But to date, 354 people have been discharged from the hospital (44 more than the day before).
Falling tests
It should also be noted that the number of tests carried out since the start of the crisis amounted to 26,573, or 871 additional screenings compared to the previous day. A declining number, however (-540 tests in 24 hours).
In addition, while Luxembourg, like the rest of Europe, faces difficulties in supplying professional masks, the Minister of Health encourages the population to wear alternative cloth masks. On the condition of not overcoming barrier gestures.
