VOA: Covid, in the last week, the tests at the lowest annual level in Albania

VOA: Covid, in the last week, the tests at the lowest annual level in Albania

While many countries around the world are on alert for fear of the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus, and are increasing austerity measures, in Albania, inexplicably the tests have been declining since October, coming down last week (November 30 -6 December) at the lowest quotas since almost 13 months.

Official data processed by the Voice of America, show that in the last 7 days, the number of tests fell to a total of 13,781 tampons, or a daily average of 1968 tests. Compared to the previous week, it is a drastic contraction of 32.4 percent. Compared to the daily average in September, the decline is twice as deep, at 61.5 percent.

It is precisely the reduction in the number of tampons that has led to the reduction, almost to the same extent, of new cases, which in total over the last week dropped to 2152 affected, or a daily average of 307 infected. In Albania, such a daily average was at the beginning of August, but when in the meantime the tests were more than doubled, over 4600 per day.

Monday (December 6) was the day with the least infected, 172, identified in 27 municipalities of the country: 78 in Tirana, 16 in Berat, 11 in Vlora, 10 in Fier, 6 in Durres, Gjirokastra, 4 in Kamza, Lushnje, 3 in Lezha, Kurbin, Vora, Mallakastër, Përmet, Kuçovë, 2 in Mirditë, Kavaja, Patos, Selenica, Saranda, Tepelena, 1 in Kukës, Has, Krujë, Dibër, Delvinë, Skrapar, Gramsh.

That the decrease in the total number of those affected in the last week was a consequence, simply and only of the decrease of the tests, is also confirmed by the fact that the positivity not only did not decrease, but suffered a slight increase of 0.2 percentage points, being climbed to 15.6 percent, a very high level. In Italy, it is currently estimated at just over 3 percent, while in France, over 6 percent. Positivity is an indicator of virus transmission in the community.

In terms of fatalities, for the 5th week in a row they were on the decline. Over the past week, they have almost halved, dropping to 23 victims. On Monday, 5 lives were reported: an 81-year-old citizen from Berat, three citizens from Tirana, 85-91 years old, and a 90-year-old citizen from Lushnja. They seem to reflect an improvement in the situation in hospitals, where the number of patients has decreased, as well as those treated in intensive care. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, 145 patients are receiving treatment in COVID hospitals, of which 13 are in a more serious condition./voa
