Active cases of Covid-19 are those that occurred in the last two weeks and therefore have the potential to be contagious, according to the definition of the health agency. At the national level, 20,642 active cases are registered, with an incidence rate of 15.9 per 100,000 inhabitants.
“Active cases are considered to be those positive cases that started symptoms in the last 14 days, making it possible to identify where there is greater viral activity and, consequently, an increase in transmission,” explains the Weekly Technical Report.
