Portugal has a daily average of 12 deaths with Covid-19 and nearly 400 new cases, a figure that has almost tripled since the end of May, epidemiologist Manuel Carmo Gomes told Lusa today. At the end of May, Portugal had an average of 130 notifications of positive Covid-19 cases per day, but in the last seven days the daily average has been around 390, he said. Regarding the number of deaths – among the very old, with comorbidities – Carmo Gomes stressed the new average represents “a big increase on a month ago” when there were around three deaths a day.
