The Government has reported 157 new coronavirus infections across the country in the last 24 hours. Of these, the bulk is concentrated in three communities: Madrid, Aragon and Andalusia, which account for 75% of these cases with 118. The total figure represents a decrease compared to the daily positives that the Ministry of Health offered this Wednesday, 196, but while the capital and Aragon see their numbers drop, the southern region of Spain registers an increase in cases to 32.
Beyond these three areas, only Catalonia, with 11, exceeds a dozen positives in the last 24 hours. This is the distribution by territories of the new infections: Aragon (47), Madrid (39), Andalusia (32), Catalonia (11), the Basque Country (9), Galicia (7), Valencian Community (3), the Canary Islands ( 2), Castilla y León (2), Extremadura (2), Murcia (2), La Rioja (1). The rest of the communities do not register any new contagion, although Health specifies that in the case of Castilla La Mancha, the regional authorities “have not been able to upload the daily data” corresponding to yesterday. The total number of cases amounts to 247,486, 400 more than the one offered this Wednesday.
“The data remains more or less stable, but yes it is true that in recent days there may be a small loss of that positive trend“he acknowledged at a press conference Fernando Simón, who attributed this situation to the work of detecting the health services of the autonomous communities. “That effort is driving us from 40-45% asymptomatic cases to 60%. That is very likely to continue to rise as detection efforts are made around outbreaks,” he said.

Castilla y León concentrates the vast majority of these deaths with 7, while Asturias, the Valencian Community, Madrid, and the Basque Country have each recorded one death. The rest of the territories, according to the standards of the ministry, do not count any deceased in the last seven days.
