The HS’s weekly interest rate report shows the development of the vaccination, hospitalization and infection situation in recent weeks.
In the hospital The number of coronary patients in Finland has risen steadily over the past two weeks in Finland. At the same time, gathering restrictions and restaurant restrictions have been lifted.
According to data from the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) on Monday, the hospital has 723 patients. One week ago, the hospital had 691 patients and two weeks ago, 667 patients.
The figures also include patients whose main cause of hospitalization is anything other than coronary heart disease.
intensive careON however, the need is declining compared to a week ago.
According to THL, there were 35 coronary patients in intensive care on Monday, compared to 38 a week ago. However, the figure hurts, as only 30 patients needed intensive care on Friday.
THL’s data is comprehensively updated, usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, sometimes retrospectively.
The most up-to-date a picture of the need for intensive care is provided by the National Intensive Care Coordination Office.
Professor of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Matti Reinikainen according to the intensive care units had 35 corona patients on Monday morning. In 29 of them, the cause of intensive care was precisely coronary heart disease.
Third the rate of vaccination is slightly slowed.
According to Sunday’s data, about 55.8 per cent of those aged 12 and over have now given third doses in Finland. That is 0.8 percentage points more than a week ago.
Vaccination percentages are still somewhat reduced by an information system overhaul, which is why Hyvinkää figures are missing from THL’s data. Previously missing data from Järvenpää, Mäntsälä and Pornainen have already been added to the figures.
Two doses vaccination coverage among those aged 12 and over rose by 0.1 percentage point per week to 85.2 per cent on Sunday, according to THL.
Confirmed Infections the incidence rate had started to decline last week.
The incidence rate was Monday, 1586. One week ago, the incidence rate was 1668 and two weeks ago 1 was slightly lower than it is now, i.e. 1541.
Incidence refers to the number of reported infections per 100,000 population in 14 days.
The figures only include infections found in official tests, so the true incidence is higher.
Currently, a large proportion of those who have a symptom of a basic health or a positive home test result are not tested by an official test.
In wastewater the amount of coronavirus has remained stable in recent weeks.
In the current situation, where many symptoms are not tested, THL weekly wastewater monitoring provides more information on the prevalence of the virus when confirmed infections.
Coronavirus The number of related deaths in Finland has decreased from the previous measurement period.
In the last two weeks, THL reported 234 coronavirus-related deaths, compared with 243 in the previous two weeks.
The figures show the number of deaths reported to THL. Deaths may have occurred in the past.
Coronavirus-related deaths are defined as deaths that occur within 30 days of a positive test result. The actual cause of death may be a disease other than that caused by the coronavirus.
Medical care the development of the load has varied from country to country. In the United States and Britain, the need has been diminishing for several weeks. In France, too, the need for medical care has continued to fall last week.
The figures are not fully comparable between countries, as treatment criteria vary from country to country. The same applies to infection rates due to different testing criteria. However, the figures for the direction of development look good.
THIS HS the interest rate review is published once a week. If you want to follow the figures more closely, HS’s daily updated corona graphics can be found from this corona situation story.
