CORONAVIRUS : Two New Positive Cases Identified in Monaco

The Principality's health authorities were informed on Saturday 11 April that the analysis of two samples proved positive for COVID-19.

This therefore brings the number of people affected by the Coronavirus to 92, including five patients who have now recovered.

Eight people are receiving treatment in hospital, four of whom are in intensive care.

It should be noted that the people tested and hospitalised are not all resident in the Principality.

In accordance with the principle adopted by the health authorities in the Principality of Monaco, only patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms are being hospitalised.

People with mild symptoms are asked to self-isolate at home while being medically monitored.  To date, 110 patients are being monitored by the Home Patient Follow-up Centre.

The aim of this approach is to avoid overburdening hospitals and to care for these patients in the city in a way that is efficient and comfortable for them.

The Prince's Government thanks and wishes to express its full support for every Monegasque and every resident in these exceptional times, which require compliance with the precautionary health measures and travel restrictions.
