we know the proportion of the population infected in Monaco
The IMSEE (Monegasque Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies) published its November report on the Covid-19 figures and the impact of the health crisis.
First observation: 3,418 positive cases for Covid have been declared since the start of the pandemic, or 8.9% of the Monegasque and resident population.
Among the latter, 289 were hospitalized (8.55 of the cases), 55 were admitted to intensive care and 36 died (representing 1.1% of the cumulative cases). Note that the average age of the deceased is 83.3 years (82.2 years for men and 84.5 years for women) and that 10 of them were of Monegasque nationality.
In October 2021, more specifically, 102 new cases of Covid were detected in the Principality, including 9 people who required hospitalization. Two-thirds of these positive cases involved unvaccinated people.
A sharp rise in the incidence rate
The IMSEE notes an increase in the incidence rate of Covid cases: from 26.1 in September, it rose to 49.5 on November 2. We know that it has just passed the 100 barrier this week (106.91), or above the alert threshold.
Since November 9, the Government has encouraged Monegasques and residents over 18 to benefit from the third dose of vaccine. A measure that should help fight the return of the pandemic.
