Covid-19 patients continue to flow into hospitals.

A significant increase, (2,543 admissions in 24 hours), compared to last week’s figures, where around 19,600 Covid-19 patients were hospitalized.

The number of patients also continues to increase in critical care, which treat the most serious cases including intensive care, with 3,904 patients, including 380 new admissions. This closely watched indicator has continued to improve since the start of the fifth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in November 2021.
In 24 hours, 281 people were killed by the disease, bringing the total number of deaths to 125,718 since the start of the epidemic.
The number of contaminations rose to 93,896, a figure that was insignificant at the end of the weekends because fewer people were being tested. But by calculating the average of daily cases over the last seven days, which smooths out the gaps, that figure reaches 268,185, up from 167,338 a week ago.
