up again over the last week while the RT transmission number was
above the epidemic threshold again, at 1.04, where one
represents the threshold at which the virus is expanding, the

their latest weekly report Friday.
The weekly incidence nationwide reached 388 per 100,000
inhabitants (18-24 November) against 353 per 100,000 in the
previous week (11-17 November).
In the period 2-15 November, the average Rt calculated on
symptomatic cases was 1.04 (range 0.80-1.31), an increase
compared to the previous week - when it was 0.88 - and above the
epidemic threshold.
