The trend is positive, says the head of the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simón, despite the slight rise in the death toll. In the last 24 hours they have died from the
Covid-19
244 people, bringing the total deaths to 25,857. Half of these deaths have been recorded in Madrid and Catalonia (46 and 75 respectively), data that are of special interest on the day the deadline ends for the communities to propose which provinces or territories should go to the next phase of de-escalation, 1.
As for the new admissions in the ICU, a total of 51 has been registered in the last hours, 38 in Madrid and Catalonia. 859 people have required hospitalization and, again, most have been in these two communities, 340 in Catalonia and 180 in Madrid. Regarding the number of positive cases, the increase in the last hours has been 685, bringing the total to 247,122.
By cons there is an autonomous community that has not registered cases, Canary Islands, and an autonomous city, Melilla, and two others with less than 10 (Navarra and La Rioja). Eight communities that have not admitted any patient or only one in the ICU.
This is the drawing of the epidemic today, the date on which the vast majority of communities will request that their entire territory or part of it go to phase 1, in which there are fewer movement restrictions and the economic activity. Murcia, Extremadura and Baleares they already did it yesterday, although their result is not known. The rest will do it today. Most will move on to the next phase, although doubts arise with Madrid and Catalonia that are not likely to make proposals on the province of Madrid and ehe metropolitan area of Barcelona.
Simon thinks it doesn’t make sense propose territories so that they are not rejected. The important thing is that the areas that can, continue, while those in the worst situation work to strengthen health care.
In this sense, Simón has asked the population to be responsible, especially young people. This disease is much more explosive than we thought, has indicated, so you cannot let your guard down. Simón understands that after the confinement it is understandable that people want to go out, but he hinted that the consequences of this disease in certain patients are serious enough to forget it.
