COVID-19: 15 New Positive Cases and Five Recoveries on Friday 18 December

Fifteen new positive cases of COVID-19 were identified on Friday.

This therefore brings the overall health figures for the Principality to 715 people affected by the Coronavirus since the beginning of the health crisis.

This evening, ten people are being treated at the CHPG:  eight patients, two of whom are residents, are hospitalised.  In addition, two patients, one of whom is a resident, are in intensive care.

There are five further recoveries to be noted.  The total number of people who have recovered thus amounts to 616.

This Friday evening, 57 people are being monitored by the Home Patient Follow-up Centre, which provides medical support to people with mild symptoms, who are invited to self-isolate at home.

In line with the practices adopted by the World Health Organization and neighbouring countries in this regard, these daily health assessment figures report only on resident persons affected by the Coronavirus.
