COVID-19: Seven New Positive Cases and One Recovery on Saturday 5 December

Seven new positive cases of COVID-19 were identified on Saturday.

This therefore brings the overall health figures for the Principality to 637 people affected by the Coronavirus since the beginning of the health crisis.

This evening, ten people are being treated at the CHPG:  seven patients, three of whom are residents, are hospitalised.  In addition, three patients, two of whom are residents, are in intensive care.

The Principality of Monaco has always maintained close collaboration on health matters with its neighbouring country;  this has been strengthened since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic.

In this regard, further to a request from the French health authorities and following the example of other health establishments in the Alpes-Maritimes, the CHPG has treated four patients transferred from La Palmosa hospital in Menton.  One of these patients was admitted to intensive care.  For clarity, please note that these four patients have been included in the above figures.

Today, there is one recovery to be noted.  The total number of people who have recovered thus amounts to 572.

This Saturday evening, 30 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.
