The Algarve now has two more deaths, of men aged 51 and 77, from Loulé and Albufeira, respectively, and again has 22 new cases of Covid-19, on a day when the number of infections, across the country, grew “only” 549, according to data from the bulletin of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) this Monday, 22 February.
The two deaths registered in the Algarve are, even so, a decrease compared to this Sunday, the day when there were three deaths to mourn in the Algarve region. The new cases are exactly the same as those reported yesterday.
