805 additional cases, 87 hospitalizations and 10 new deaths recorded in Switzerland and Liechtenstein: this is the assessment of the pandemic, according to data from the Federal Office of Public Health (OFSP) communicated on Tuesday.
According to these figures covering the last seven days, there have therefore been some 115 cases and 12 hospitalizations per day on average. In the previous period, there were more than 181 cases and 19 hospitalizations per day. Remember that the number of cases now poorly reflects the real situation because they have decreased massively since the end of free testing on January 1.
In the last seven days, 12,082 tests have been carried out. The PCR test positivity rate is 11.5%. The intensive care unit occupancy rate is 73.1%: 2.9% Covid patients and 70.2% non-Covid.
In total, since the start of the pandemic, Switzerland has counted 13,997 deaths, 64,249 hospitalizations and 4,407,050 people who tested positive for coronavirus.
With 26 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (38 last Tuesday), the fourteen-day incidence rate in Switzerland is lower than that of all its neighbors, according to WHO figures: France (102), Germany (174), Italy (171) and Austria (328).
69.8% of the population received at least one dose of vaccine and 11.7% had a dose in the last six months.
