Andalusia has this Friday 606 people admitted by Covid in hospitals. They are 33 more than last Tuesday and it also means that the figure breaks the ceiling of 600, which he abandoned weeks ago. Hospital pressure risesalthough with much less force than contagions do.
The growth of patients is also seen in ICUs. This Friday with 35 Andalusians who are in intensive care for coronavirus, ten more than at the beginning of this week.
However, this growth in health pressure has nothing to do with what has occurred at other times of the pandemic. In fact, there is a clear decoupling of the increase in infections and the growth of patients admitted for Covid.
Until now, when cases exceeded 6,000 in each report, income skyrocketed. That’s not happening right now.
In fact, the Ministry of Health reports this Friday 6,988 infections of Covid-19, highest number in weeks. And yet, hospitals rise only above 600, when at other times there have been 5,000 admitted, 700 of them in the ICU.
Vaccines
The wide vaccination coverage in Andalusia -with more than 18 million doses applied- and the lower virulence of the variants in circulation make this disconnection between infected and hospitalized possible.
Where there is also no reflection of the increase in infections and hospitalized is in the deceased. The death toll is 30 this Friday, along the lines of this last month and far from the more than one hundred newspapers that appeared in Andalusia last year after Christmas. Since the start of the pandemic, 14,291 people have died in Andalusia.
monkey pox
Meanwhile, cases of monkeypox are contained. This Friday, according to data from the Ministry of Health, there are 110 confirmed cases compared to 99 last Tuesday. After growing by dozens of those affected by this bacterial infection, transmission now seems to slow down.
In any case, it should be noted that Andalusia has 8.4 million of inhabitants and only 104 cases of monkeypox. According to data from the Board, the majority of cases continue to occur in Malaga, with 60 cases. It is followed by Granada, with 19 and Seville, with 12.
