The SPKC said that the decline in the infection reproduction factor (R) to 0.85 indicates a slower spread of infectious disease compared with the previous week.
During the previous week, the number of cases of Covid-19 increased only in Zemgale, while in the other regions it continued to decline. In nearly all age groups, the incidence of Covid-19 continues to decrease, but in the 60-79-year group, the decrease is no longer pronounced.
The SPKC reminded the public that the adjusted vaccines against Covid-19 are available in family doctors' practices and vaccination offices, and it is currently possible to vaccinate against influenza at the same time.
