The Spanish Ministry of Health accounted for another 7,039 coronavirus infections on Thursday 20-A, of which 3,349 were diagnosed in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of infected to 377,906 since the start of the pandemic.
The number of deaths in the last seven days in Spain amounts to 122, which brings the number of total deaths to 28,813.
Madrid continues to lead in the number of infections detected in the last day, with 1,020, followed by the Basque Country region (north) with 547 and Aragon (east) with 352, according to the latest official data.
“Make no mistake, things are not going well. Every day we have more transmission. The objective with the confinement was to reduce the overload of services and ensure proper treatment,” said Fernando Simón, health spokesman today at a press conference Spanish for the pandemic.
“If we continue to let the transmission continue upwards, we will end up having many hospitalized, admitted to the ICU and many deaths,” the epidemiologist remarked.
Simón admitted that it is true that the characteristics of the cases are different, because the average age of those affected has dropped to 35 years, and that there is no overload in the hospital system, but has insisted that “as transmission increases community “the number of hospitalized will rise.
According to the health spokesman, at the national level “we cannot say that the epidemic is out of control, although in some specific points it is.”
The situation in Madrid is particularly worrying, where regional authorities do not rule out continuing to implement measures to reduce infections, especially in aspects related to mobility and meetings of people, since it is what most favors the spread of viruses.
