A total of 633 cases of Monkeypox have been registered in Portugal as of July 27. The numbers are growing linearly, rather than exponentially, as can be seen from the following data:
- July 1 - 415 cases - about 10 new cases per day
- July 7 - 473 cases - about 10 new cases per day
- July 13 - 515 cases - about 7 new cases per day
- July 20 - 588 cases - about 10 new case per day
- July 27 - 633 cases - about 7 new cases per day
Assuming a hospital stay of no more than ten days for the infected, there should be no more than 70 active cases of Monkeypox in Portuguese hospitals at the moment. That's down from about 100 only a week ago.
