The figures, although very high, reflect the delay in the case count over the weekend, in addition to the fact that authorities said the average number of infections per seven-day period remained between 8.3 and 8.5% last week, an average lower than the weeks of the beginning of July. The hospitalization rate has also decreased slightly.
Another relatively positive data that was offered on Wednesday was the rate of infection for each infected person, which is less than 1.
