Data on the age distribution of cases in the last 4 weeks were released by the Epidemiological Surveillance Unit.
As shown by the data, an increase in the number of cases is recorded by all age groups, but the largest increase is recorded in the age group 6-11 years, which as noted by the Epidemiological Surveillance Unit was expected, as the way of surveillance has changed (weekly control).
Specifically:
Age distribution of cases in the last 4 weeks.
Cases by age group/province of residence, sampling dates 27/11-03/12/2021
