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 again to record levels.
According to data from the Department of Health and Welfare (THL) on Monday, the hospital has 398 patients. That’s more than 90 patients more than a week ago and more than 60 patients more than a couple of weeks ago in the previous peak.
Intensive care on the other hand, according to THL, the need has not increased. According to THL, there were 53 patients in intensive care on Monday, which is roughly the same as last week.
THL’s data is comprehensively updated, usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, sometimes retrospectively.
Third vaccine doses were given at the same rate last week as the other week.
According to Sunday’s data, about 24.8 per cent of those aged 12 and over have now given third doses in Finland. That’s about 5.1 percent more than a week ago.
Two doses vaccination coverage among those aged 12 and over rose by about 0.2 percentage points a week and was 83.8 per cent on Monday, according to THL.
Infections the incidence continued to rise sharply. The incidence rate rose to over a thousand for the first time in Finland and is now about 1048 on Monday. A week ago the incidence was about 518 and two weeks ago about 444.
Incidence refers to the number of reported infections in 14 days per 100,000 population.
Of deaths the amount in Finland has decreased from the previous measurement period.
In the last two weeks, THL reported 99 deaths related to the corona, compared to 110 in the previous two weeks.
Hospital care the need has been growing in many countries in recent weeks. In the United States and France, for example, there were about 280 hospital patients per million inhabitants at the turn of the year. The corresponding figure in Finland was about 70.
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.
