Peru: Fewer hospitalized patients; 5,796 discharged in one day

00:14 | Lima, Jun. 17.

On the 93rd day of the state of emergency, Peru is exactly one week away from reaching the 100th day. Within this framework, The Ministry of Health announced positive news in the fight against COVID-19: There is a significant reduction in the number of hospitalized citizens if compared to the data published on Monday, as well as a recent small decrease in seriously ill-patients at Intensive Care Units.

Indeed, 10,177 hospitalized patients were registered as of Tuesday at 00:00, while the figure was 10,295 the previous day. It meant a 118 decrease, which is a relief for the already stressed health system.

As of Tuesday, 1,112 patients were registered at ICUs with mechanical respiration —9 less than Monday, when there were 1,121.

Unfortunately, the number of those infected and killed by COVID-19 continues to increase. 237,156 confirmed cases were reported on Tuesday (+4,164), while the number of deceased people reached 7,056 (+196).

In both cases, these figures are higher than the 3,256 infected and 172 deceased citizens registered in the data revealed last Monday.

A total of 119,409 recovered patients were registered as of Monday. The figure increased to 125,205 (+5,796) the following day. If the number is added to the 3,830 recorded on Monday, almost 10,000 people have managed to recover from COVID-19 in the last 48 hours.
