After a 6-week period where Luxembourg recorded no new covid-19 fatalities, there have been 12 deaths in the past 5 weeks.

Latest figures from the ministry of health show that a total of 122 people have died since the pandemic first reached the grand duchy.

But the infection rate does seem to be slowing down again, with just 26 new cases recorded in the 24 hours up to Tuesday evening out of a total of 6.051 tests.

45 people are currently hospitalised, of whom 4 are in intensive care. “The situation remains tense, but it is stabilising,” health minister Paulette Lenert (LSAP) told the parliamentary health committee on Tuesday.
