Coronavirus : Four new cases Monaco

Last night, the health authorities in Monaco were informed that four new patients tested positive for COVID–19.

This brings the number of people affected by the coronavirus to 31, including one person who is now cured.

Earlier this week on Tuesday, Minister of Social Affairs and Health Didier Gamerdinger specified that not all these people were residents of Monaco. Ten of them are hospitalised either in the Principality or in France. Others with mild symptoms are self-isolating at home, being followed up by doctors. He confirmed that several carers at the Princess Grace Hospital Centre have tested positive for coronavirus.

“Taking this development into account, the health situation remains manageable. We are not yet on the verge of a very rapid increase in the epidemic,” reassured Didier Gamerdinger.
