The use of ventilators today is recorded at 0%, as is the occupancy of beds in the ICU.
Bulletin 770 of the Ministry of Public Health records that in Hospital Occupation, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is at 0% ICU beds, 0 occupied out of 585 and likewise people connected to ventilators, 0 occupied out of 469.
Despite this drop, regular occupancy stands at 2%, with 46 occupied beds out of 2,373 available. And today, there were 66 new cases.
After processing 2,196 samples, 1,425 for the first time and 771 subsequent ones; 1,681 antigenic and 515 PCR.
The new cases are added to the 290 active ones and the 579,314 registered total. The negative samples are added to the discarded more than two million cases (2,696,242).
The total deaths have been 4,376; none registered or occurred in the past 24 hours. The lethality remains at 0.76%.
Most of the new cases are between the National District (35) and Santiago (16). While Duarte, La Vega, Espaillat, and Santo Domingo, in addition to other provinces, register between 3 and 1 case.
We have been on the 0.76% death rate for last almost 2 months but we only have about 5 deaths in about 45 days or 2 months. Something doesn’t adds up here.
The deaths have dropped dramatically but so to have the cases. We were over 7000 cases daily a couple months ago. We have been around or under 50 cases a day for weeks now. So the ratio of cases to deaths is still about the same. Maybe… according to this info.
