Monaco’s handling of the coronavirus crisis is bearing dividends, according to the figures.
Twelve new cases were reported during the last week compared to 17 the week previously. The incidence rate, the number of positive cases per 100,000 population, is 31.58. It is currently 104.9 in France and 74.9 in the Alpes-Maritimes Departement, the Government said.
The Government attributes Monaco’s success to widespread testing. The Principality has also become more autonomous with regard to testing and analysis.
Pierre Dartout, Minister of State, said on Tuesday: “We must remain humble and vigilant.”
