Therefore, the percentage of positive swabs is 5.3%, the lowest figure recorded since the beginning of the pandemic. This is a very important data, which gives the idea of ​​diffusion based on the number of swabs.

This figure is certainly a consequence of the very high number of healings, again a record, with 2.563 healed. The epidemic curve also falls, from 2.29% to 2.07%.
