The Ministry of Health has communicated this Wednesday 196 new infections from covid-19, detected throughout yesterday, when 108 were transferred. Since the start of the pandemic, 247,086 people have been affected by the virus in Spain.
Of these almost 200 positives, Madrid scores 50 and Aragon, affected by the outbreaks started in Huesca that have forced four regions to be subject to the conditions of Phase 2 of the de-escalation, another 49. Only these two communities have already registered more than half of the cases notified today. However, the report of this Wednesday alerts that Castilla La Mancha, for the second consecutive day, has not been able to “upload” its updated data “due to technical problems”, so the actual figure could exceed these 196.
In addition, the Ministry reports a dozen deaths that occurred during the last seven days and adds two to the death count, which already reaches 28,327.
The covid sprout in Huesca grows: there are already four counties that have returned to phase 2
The Bajo Aragón-Caspe region (Baix Aragó-Casp) joins those of Bajo Cinca, Cinca Medio and La Litera, where the conditions of phase 2 of the de-escalation already apply.
Also, Health records a cumulative incidence (IA) – the proportion of cases diagnosed per 100,000 inhabitants – for the last 14 days of 7.93, lower than the value of yesterday (8.30) and the day before yesterday (8.10), but higher than that of the previous days (8.08 on Sunday and 7.90 on Saturday). As in the previous day, the infections detected in the last two weeks dropped by almost a hundred: from 3,811 to 3,731. Of these, 1,178 correspond to Catalonia and 1,132 to Madrid.
The number of positive cases located during the past week also decreased: yesterday the data was 1,787 and today 1,755. In turn, 732 people – the previous record was 708 – have started their symptoms in the last 14 days. Of these, 254 – on Monday there were 236 – have done so in the last seven days.
The AI of Aragon for the last week today rises to 15.92, when the national average stands at 3.73. It is the highest in Spain
Along with daily infections, the health authorities use this value – the appearance of symptoms – to assess the most current situation of the pandemic, since it only differs in a few days from the date of infection.
The AI of Aragon for the last two weeks it rises today to 18.42 – the highest in Spain – compared to the value of 15.84 that it registered yesterday. For the previous week, its cumulative incidence reached 15.92 this Wednesday, when the national average stood at 3.73.
The number of hospitalizations during the last week remains similar to yesterday’s – 150 today compared to 151 on Tuesday – after several days of an upward trend. Of these, 69 correspond to Madrid; 20, to Castilla y León; 15, to Catalonia; 12, to the Basque Country; 7, to Aragon and another 7, to Castilla La Mancha. No other territory exceeds 6. Again, the transfers to Intensive Care Units (ICU) in this same interval rise, until 16, after registering 13 yesterday and 10 on Monday.
