Of the coronavirus, most of the neighbors only remember, unless they have suffered a family tragedy or the disease has left them sequels, when they access a means of public transport or enter a medical center and must put on a mask. This one, moreover, is hardly seen on the street anymore.
Nevertheless, Covid is still very present in our lives. According to the latest data provided by the Health Council of the Andalusian Government, 58 people affected by coronavirus are hospitalized in the province’s hospitals, of which 6 are in the ICU. And the list of deaths from the pandemic continues to grow. There are already 1,908.
In the province have suffered from this diseasenot counting the asymptomatic who have passed it and the figure has not been counted, 216.896 personaswhich represents the population of Jerez de la Frontera.
Since the use of the mask on public roads ceased to be mandatory in April and the social situation began to normalize, there has been a more than notable slowdown in the vaccination process.
It is true that the figures reached in Spain of vaccinated people, and notably in Cadiz, have always been well above the rest of Europe, but the belief that everything is over has caused some neighbors to continue without being vaccinated and others to have the still incomplete regimen, especially the third dose.
In the province, As of last August 2, 2,758,784 vaccines have been given. There are 1,104,898 neighbors with the complete guideline (the two initial injections), which represents 88.7% of the population over 5 years of age. There are also 637,803 residents who have also received their third booster injection.
This relaxation, beyond the obvious good level of vaccinationhas gone hand in hand with the persistence of infections. Since Apriland taking into account that the SAS limits the information on new patients to those over 65 years of age, there have been 11,000 more cases in the province as a wholewhile the number of deceased has increased in this time by one hundred more people.
With everything, Cádiz capital continues to lead the ranking among all localities in the province in terms of compliance with the vaccine.
The complete guideline already reaches 95.3% of the population over 5 years of age. Well above the rest of the large cities in the province: Jerez, 90.3%; Algeciras, 86%; San Fernando, 90.2%; The Port, 87.9%; Chiclana, 82.9%, Puerto Real, 89.2%. It only equals the capital Villamartín and Villaluenga del Rosario has been in last place from the beginning, with just 64%.
Among the Andalusian capitals, it only surpasses Cádiz Granada, with 98.2. The low percentage of Jaén stands out, remaining at 74.6.
All these percentages are set according to the population registered as of January 1, 2021, 114,244 residents. From these it is necessary to subtract those under 5 years of age, who have not been vaccinated, so 110,744 residents would be the possible vaccinated.
If we subtract from this figure those who have had at least one injection There would be barely 300 residents left without any medical protection. It is not an exact figure because it must be taken into account that the group is integrated by those who are turning 5 years old and leaving, logically, those who die, in addition to the new neighbors. In any case, a very low figure that indicates how the people of Cadiz comply.
