Data released this Thursday, in the daily epidemiological bulletin of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), reveal that there are 307 Portuguese municipalities with at least three confirmed cases of Covid-19.
According to the same document, in the last 24 hours, there were 310 new cases across the country. However, the data referring to the municipalities, account for only 91% of these new daily cases. THE Renaissance, the General Directorate of Health states that “there are always correct data in municipalities, either due to delay in notification or due to the relocation of the user in the area of residence”.
The director of the infectious disease service at Hospital Curry Cabral had already admitted, also in an interview to Renascença, delays in the registration of data at SINAVE.
Sintra (+48), Lisbon (+38), Loures (+21) and Amadora (+21) are the municipalities with the highest increase in infections in the last 24 hours, according to the DGS list. According to the same bulletin, 41 counties register at least one more confirmed case of Covid-19 compared to the previous day and nine counties add up to more than one thousand infected – Lisbon, Vila Nova de Gaia, Sintra, Porto, Matosinhos, Braga, Loures, Gondomar and Amadora.
Knowing that the accounting will not be relative to the total number of cases – nor will it simultaneously monitor the data reported by the municipalities – DGS opted to provide only data from SINAVE, the national epidemiological surveillance system (91% of the total confirmed cases).
