The numbers of today. Six people have been recovered. 14 new contamination have been detected, 13 of them have been admitted (local contamination rate 8%). The total number of active cases is now 150; 131 detained and 18 tourists. On average, there are 13 new cases per day with an average daily local contamination rate of 10%. Right now there are 10 patients in the Covid ward and one Covid patient in the ICU. In Colombia there are 10 patients in the ICU and two in the general department.

Andrea - you have been following this a lot longer than I. Your caution about Halloween looks correct, just hope it stays relatively mild. About the report: Saw today's numbers (11/11) - when it says 18 new cases and 14 admitted, what does that mean? What happened to the other 4? I understand local infection rate to mean percent of those residents tested that day. When it says average infection rate do you know over what time period? You have been so informative - thanks again.

I am not surprised that number have inched up as I saw with my own eyes on Halloween the wall to wall people in the plaza across from the Holiday Inn. We were also shocked on our first day (10/31) at the visitors packed into Carlito’s watching football. All were drinking and eating but they were packed in there like sardines. Hubs wanted to see the score but couldn’t get close enough to see a TV- even the sidewalk was crowded. We were so surprised that that many people would be okay.

Could they have been admitted to the hospital in Aruba and or Colombia?

The average percentage rate mentioned is per week(7 days).

Thanks. Think now that Andra is right and being "admitted" is just that, admitted into a hospital, but NOT in ICU and NOT in a Covid unit. They are only reporting in the daily report stats ICU and Covid Unit numbers.

I tell my husband that I am always right.

I'm sure he agrees, if he knows what's good for him...
