Over the past New Year holidays, the load on outpatient clinics and hospitals in the Northern capital turned out to be less than in the same period last year. Dmitry Lisovets, chairman of the St. Petersburg Healthcare Committee, told reporters about this.
According to him, in both levels, the total number of patients with COVID-19 was 25-26 thousand people.
“Hospitalized for 10 days with coronavirus, including pneumonia, about 3500. This is 18% less than in the previous 10-day period,” said Lisovets.
He added that although New Years and Christmas nights were spent mostly at home, hospitals saw a “slight increase” in hospital admissions in the following days.
According to a spokesman for the komzdrav, the number of records for vaccinations has increased over the past holidays. 114 points worked.
“If up to the 3rd day for a seven-day interval we recorded about 17 thousand records, then during the period from the 2nd to the 9th there were 7.8 thousand more,” said Lisovets.
The primary vaccination was attended by 26 thousand townspeople. The total number of vaccinated people is close to the figure of 3 million people, the head of the department added.
We add that in the period from January 1 to January 9, the headquarters recorded indicators from 1,273 to 1,534 cases of coronavirus in St. Petersburg. The death toll per day was about 60.
