We inform you that there are currently 37 patients at the Infective Hospital. Four of them are in intensive therapy, in the same clinical situation.

While the rest of those laid down in the pavilion are in stable condition right now.

Two zero patient contacts have resulted negative even after the confirmation test that ended last night. But even after the hospital exit, restored patients have to remain in self - quarantine for another 14 days, following respiratory control measures and personal hygiene.

We're continuing to test suspected cases, as an important element for breaking off the transmission chain of COVID-19.

On the other hand, to ensure the success of the suspension of the infection chain, citizens have an essential role. The only way to break this chain is for citizens to be self - satisfied and avoid as many contacts as possible.

The Ministry of Health and Social Protection I once again address citizens with a prayer: Don't go to the hospital right now!

The ministry has made a green line available. FALAS 0800 40 per citizen seeking information or advice regarding COVID-19. This line will also serve for chronic patients to get information on how to connect with the family doctor, how they can take advantage of remuneration drugs and any other concern they have.

But it is important to explain: If citizens have signs of illness and emergency cases, the unique national emergency number 127 must be called!

Once again, we repeat the appeal to citizens to respect social distance measures, stay at home, help themselves and their relatives not to be touched by COVID-19 and help medical staff to cope. /Tch/
