– It is a very, very high number that makes an impression, says SSI director Kåre Mølbak.
1,056 people have been tested positive for coronavirus infection in the last 24 hours .
This is the highest infection rate since the spring, but it must be taken with caution, as the figure covers 28 hours of tests and not the usual 24 hours due to technical problems. So it’s artificially high.
According to Kåre Mølbak, director of the Statens Serum Institut, the number of infections in the last 24 hours is on a par with the day before, when 945 people were registered as infected.
– But it is a very, very high number that makes an impression, regardless of whether it has been collected over 28 hours or 24 hours, says Kåre Mølbak.
Six people have died of coronavirus since yesterday.
The number of hospitalized patients has also increased significantly by 18 more than yesterday, so that there are now 145 people hospitalized with coronavirus in Danish hospitals. This is the highest number of admissions since mid-May.
17 of the inpatients are in intensive care, with 12 patients being on ventilator treatment.
This is shown by the latest statement from the Statens Serum Institut, which today has been delayed due to technical problems.
