Three people have died in the region in the past seven days due to the coronavirus, seven a week earlier. In more than two years of the coronavirus epidemic, 1,562 people have died in the region, 142 of them since the start of this year.

Since the first case in March 2020, the coronavirus in the Liberec Region has been shown to infect nearly 160,000 people, who make up more than 36 percent of the region’s population. The maximum in seven days is 10,279 newly infected this year at the turn of January and February. Since then, the epidemic has declined, with the exception of the previous two weeks, when cases had increased slightly. However, in recent days, they have declined again.

The so-called incidence rate, i.e. the number of people newly infected in seven days per 100 thousand people, decreased in the past week for the entire Liberec region from 406 to 295. According to these data, the situation in all regions of the region has significantly improved. In the Liberec region, the number of incidents has fallen from 448 to 284 since last Thursday, in the Jablonec region from 349 to 287, in the Eskolipsko region from 377 to 292 and in the Semily region from 419 to 328.

Interest in coronavirus vaccination has increased slightly. 938 people had it in the past seven days, compared with 809 people a week earlier, however, this is far less than in February when thousands of people were vaccinated in a week. Nearly 272,000 people in the region received at least one dose of some of the five vaccines available, which is about 62 percent of the 437,390 population in the region. In recent weeks, people who wanted a third, booster dose have come for vaccinations. There were 51 new vaccines in the previous seven days.
