7,527 people were diagnosed with the coronavirus in the last 24 hours, according to updated figures provided by the Health Ministry. The rate of positive samples was 12.8%.
The number of patients in serious condition declined, from 708 (a record high) two days ago, to 692 yesterday, to 669 today.
No additional patients had to be placed on ventilators, and no new deaths were reported.
Meanwhile, 729 more people have made a full recovery, defined as having received two successive negative test results.
According to the Health Ministry's coronavirus website, no information regarding the occupancy rates of the coronavirus wards of any of the country's hospitals is available, as has been the case in the last few days, ever since Channel 12 published an expose revealing serious discrepancies between the Ministry's published rates and the true rates as reported by at least four of the country's hospitals themselves.
