The Ministry of Health of Costa Rica confirmed this Thursday 16 new cases of COVID-19 in the country, bringing the total number of cases to 1,000. Compared to yesterday, the percentage change in confirmed cases was 1.63 %. 84 days passed before the country reached that "barrier".
Confirmed cases are registered in 72 cantons of the 7 corresponding provinces (Zarcero is added to the list of cantons with positive cases) to 867 adults, 53 older adults and 80 minors. Of the confirmed cases, 470 are women and 530 are men. Likewise, 817 are Costa Rican (+13) and 183 are foreigners (+3).
Of today's cases, six have an identified link and five of them already had a sanitary isolation order; three are imported (two for repatriation) and the other 7 are under investigation. The cases are divided: four in San Ram?n, two in Zarcero, two in Liberia, one in Alajuela, one in Los Chiles, one in Naranjo, one in San Carlos, one in San Jos?, one in Quepos, one in Sarapiqu? and one in Bagaces.
There are 646 people recovered (7 more than yesterday) and 10 deceased, so the number of active cases (currently infected) is 344. The number of active cases rose compared to the previous day. 64.60% of confirmed cases are recorded as recovered.
Of the recovered cases 312 are women and 334 are men, by age there are 583 adults, 31 older adults and 32 minors.
There are 12 interned persons, of which two are interned in Intensive Care Units with ages between 55 to 64 years.
The number of cases discarded because their COVID-19 test was negative rose to 16,726. In total, results were reported from 374 people analyzed in the last 24 hours, with which the accumulated total of people tested (confirmed + discarded) is 17,726.
The total number of tests accumulated to date (which includes discarded, confirmed, reconfirmations, follow-ups, etc.) is 24,897, so 459 more tests were reported than yesterday.
To date, the country has rejected the entry of 46 positive carriers for COVID-19 and those who were asymptomatic. Another 15 had to be received and attended in Costa Rica because Nicaragua did not allow them to cross the border...
