Panel SA: Positive Covid tests shoot up again in pharmacies

by

After 14 weeks of consecutive declines, the number of Covid tests with positive results in pharmacies has grown again, according to monitoring by Abrafarma (an association that brings together major retailers in the pharmaceutical sector).

In the week of October 10th to 16th, there were almost 1,300 confirmed diagnoses, up 50% compared to the previous seven days.

According to Abrafarma, the new level may be a natural oscillation, but it is necessary to be careful.

Despite the increase, the daily average in October is 134 diagnoses, below the average of 185 cases per day in September.
