Monchique has not had any cases of Covid-19 for three weeks and is the only municipality in the Algarve that has a ratio of zero cases per 19 inhabitants, according to the 14-day cumulative incidence of Covid-15 cases update , made this Monday, March XNUMXth, by the General Directorate of Health.
The numbers in the document released today point to a favorable situation in the Algarve, with all municipalities at moderate risk – that is, below the red line of 240 cases per XNUMX inhabitants.
There are even five Algarve municipalities that are in the second lowest level of incidence, of the municipalities with 20 to 59,9 cases per 59 inhabitants: Vila Real de Santo António (48), Castro Marim (39), Vila do Bispo (29 ), São Brás de Alportel (28) and Silves (XNUMX).
At the level of 120 to 239,9 cases, only the municipality of Faro (139), which has the highest incidence at 14 days, according to the bulletin.
The remaining municipalities are all between these two levels (60 to 119,9 cases per 114 inhabitants): Loulé (107), Aljezur (104), Albufeira (101), Portimão (93), Alcoutim (83), Lagoa (83 ), Olhão (76), Lagos (65) and Tavira (XNUMX).
This DGS accounting was closed at 23:59:59 on the 9th and concerns the previous 14 days.
In today's bulletin, there is a novelty, a graph that makes the relationship between incidence and transmissibility, the so-called R(t). This is the risk matrix presented by António Costa last Thursday and the table that will determine whether the deconfinement plan, then presented, progresses as planned or whether the brake.
For now, the news is good, with the relationship between these two factors in the green zone of the chart, the one where it should be.
Nationally, the average incidence was yesterday, the 14th, of 96 cases per 84,2 inhabitants. Focusing only on Mainland Portugal, this value was XNUMX cases.
The R(t) was 0,83 in Portugal and 0,79 in the mainland.
However, it found the Sul Informação, according to the latest data from the Regional Health Authority, the Algarve, as a whole, was on Saturday, the 13th, with an incidence risk of 60 cases per XNUMX inhabitants.
According to regional figures, the situation in the Algarve has evolved positively, as the incidence dropped between 9 and 13 March, in 14 of the 16 municipalities in the Algarve. The exceptions are the municipality of Alcoutim, where there was an outbreak among workers in a company which is installing solar panels in a mega photovoltaic plant, and in Tavira.
Alcoutim is the case where the increase was greater. On the 9th, when the first cases of the outbreak were diagnosed, the incidence was 185 cases per 100 inhabitants. However, that number rose to 509 cases per 11 population, due to the 19 newly infected with Covid-XNUMX diagnosed within five days.
In other words, the Alcoutenejo municipality will be considered, at least, a municipality with very high risk, but only in the bulletin on Monday. Because Alcoutim is a municipality with little population, few cases are enough to throw it to the highest levels of the risk table.
In Tavira, the situation is still of moderate risk, but there was an increase from 90 cases per 10 inhabitants, on the 163th, to 13, on the XNUMXth.
At national level, there is now a municipality at extreme risk, Funchal (1128), after last week there was no one with more than 960 cases per 100 inhabitants in 14 days.
There are now four municipalities at very high risk, half of those last week: Ponta do Sol (640), Santa Cruz (576), Câmara de Lobos (564) and Serpa (517).
This weekly update served as a reference for the elaboration of the list of councils at risk, and which were subject to tighter rules, something that stopped happening with the general confinement in force between January 15th and 24 hours yesterday, the 14th.
