Increases in all statistics

Increases have been visible in the covid statistics for several weeks. They concern almost all “parameters”, ie the number of infections, hospitalizations, deaths and tests performed.

Two months ago, the daily number of cases was at the level of 200-300. The increase was already visible at the end of June, when the bars exceeded the level of 500 and 600 infections. In July, infections were already counted in the thousands, and at the beginning of this month there was a record of the summer wave – 5649 new coronavirus infections.

The number of hospitalizations related to infection is also increasing. A week ago, the health ministry informed about 1884 occupied covid beds (as of July 26), on August 2, there were already 2389 of them. In June, about 300-400 people were hospitalized (weekly data).

The increase, although fortunately small, is also seen in the number of COVID-19 deaths. In June, there were several victims of the coronavirus daily, often the Ministry of Health even reported no deaths. Today there are over a dozen of them a day, but there are still days when the statistics show “0”. The good news is that the Omicron is still less likely to cause severe mileage than previous variants.

However, this does not mean that we can be calm, because it still remains the most infectious form of SARS-CoV-2. How much, many of us find out every day, experiencing symptoms of infection or hearing about sick friends. This is exactly how COVID-19 is now “diagnosed” – mainly at home, using rapid antigen tests purchased in pharmacies and stores. Even if we go to the doctor with the symptoms of the disease, the infection is rarely verified with a test, the result of which is entered in the official registry.

Despite this number of “official” tests performed (i.e. antigenic in health care centers and PCR in hospitals) and yes grows. A week ago, there were 59,7 thousand of them. (for the period July 21-27), and yesterday (data for the last week) already 64,3 thousand. More than 10 jobs are performed daily. tests, which is a significant change compared to the beginning of the summer, when from 2 to 4 thousand were tested daily. people.

Remember that these numbers only apply to official test results. Experts have no illusions that the real number of infections is a multiple of them. How big? There may be 10 or 20 times more infections, which would mean that there are even 19-50 thousand people suffering from COVID-100 in Poland every day.

Is the government planning changes to the coronavirus strategy?

Despite significant increases on the part of the health ministry no announcements of changes in the COVID-19 strategy or the plan of restrictions are heard. For now, the Ministry of Health is focusing on appealing to supplementing protection against illness, severe course and death, i.e. vaccination. You can still get vaccinated in the basic vaccination cycle, a booster is given, and recently also a second booster dose, i.e. the fourth one.

From April, the fourth dose can be vaccinated by seniors 80+, and from July 22, also people 60+ and children (over 12 years of age), adolescents and adults with impaired immunity. Over 750 have already registered for vaccination. people, 300 thousand. of them already has the injection behind him.

However, as it results from yesterday’s information from the minister of health, in September, the second booster may be available for all 18+ people. A decision on this will be made in the coming weeks.
