* This data confirms the close of statistics at 20:00 on Wednesday (the night before confirmation) and may differ slightly from the data offered by the Ministry of Health (which stands at 1762) because for the accounting of cases, if the information is not temporarily available at the declaration date, is is not included in this days confirmation.
** This data reflects a screening of the statistical data on the web platform, which are based on health card registrations and declared municipality. So they do not always exactly match those linked here on each island.
