ARCHIVED - Nearly 1,000 new Covid cases in Spain during the last 24 hours
The figure of 971 is the highest since 8th May
Covid figures published on Thursday 23rd July have continued the upward tendency of the last few days, reaching 971 cases registered in 24 hours, the highest figure since 8th May and bringing the overall total to 270,166.
There have been 3 deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing the total fatalities count in Spain up to 28,429.
Aragón remains the region with the highest number of new cases, with 415 new positives, followed by Cataluña on 182 and Madrid 112.
Click for a detailed breakdown of the data
List of new cases by region:
• Andalucía: 47
• Aragón: 415
• Asturias: 4
• Balearic Islands: 2
• Canary Islands: 5
• Cantabria: 4
• Castilla-La Mancha: 19
• Castilla y León: 5
• Cataluña: 182
• Ceuta: 0
• Comunidad Valenciana: 33
• Extremadura: 6
• Galicia: 7
• Madrid: 102
• Melilla: 0
• Murcia: 1
• Navarra: 66
• Basque Country: 61
• La Rioja: 12
These figures obviously vary significantly from those being reported by regional authorities. Murcia for example, has reported 67 new cases in its own regional report, yet the official figures here show only 1 case.
The calculation methods used by the Spanish Government are frequently called into question; as the two examples below show, cases only recorded based on a diagnoses the previous day.Sometimes, for example, the number of cases can increase by 1,000 when only 500 "new cases" have been officially reported, and the figures tend to be adjusted at the end of the week. In the last couple of weeks the weekly press conferences have stopped at the weekends and no reports are issued; the result is that on Monday there is a major adjustment. For example this weekend only 685 "new cases" were reported on Monday, but the difference in the total cases reported between Friday and Monday was 4,581 "new " cases.
Figures gathered by WHO are compiled from data supplied by the 17 regional health authorities, which as shown below, varies from the official figures reported by the Spanish government.
The media in Spain report the government figures.
Catalonia has reported independently 1,949 new cases, although the majority of the positives relate to rapid test antibody results and not to PCR swab tests; the official figures only report 182 new cases.
The same situation exists regarding the fatalities counts as the official count by the national Government only includes cases officially diagnosed by PCR swab test. At the height of the pandemic there was a significant shortage of tester equipment, so many cases were never officially tested. As a result the official figures for Catalonia are 5,680 fatalities, whereas the regional government quotes figures from the funeral homes in Catalonia which have so far registered 12,661 deaths from coronavirus: 6,936 in a hospital or social health center, 4,116 in residences, 805 at home, and the rest are cases that cannot be classified due to lack of information.
Of the total cases, 4,231 have been hospitalized in serious condition (there are currently 61) and 40,590 hospital discharges have been registered so far.
281 active outbreaks
In Spain on Thursday there are 281 active outbreaks of coronavirus with 3,200 linked cases, Catalonia and Aragon being the autonomous regions that "cause the most concern" to the Ministry of Health, as Barcelona, Lleida and Zaragoza are all experiencing “community transmission”, ie there are so many outbreaks they cease to be isolated and become a generalised transmission of the virus.
The acting head of the area of the Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies of the Ministry of Health, María José Sierra, explained this Thursday at a press conference that "practically all the autonomous communities" are experiencing outbreaks in recent days and that related cases are increasing, with nightlife the principal protagonist.
Since the end of the de-escalation, 369 outbreaks with 5,000 cases have been detected in Spain, although many of the 281 outbreaks currently recorded are now under control.
In the last two weeks, she said, the accumulated incidence of infections has tripled.
She stressed that there are more and more outbreaks associated with leisure and discos, some affecting more than one hundred people.
There are 15 outbreaks with more than 350 cases related to family gatherings and parties and 27 outbreaks that affect workers in the agricultural sector.
Not all outbreaks are of the same magnitude; 70% have ten cases or less.
She stated that the health service is "concerned" about the epidemiological situation, although the health system is not experiencing stress despite the increase in cases, as 50% of positives are asymptomatic. "There are still very few cases hospitalized and in the ICU compared to those diagnosed. In places where there is a higher incidence, the numbers of hospitalized patients are beginning to increase, but without putting stress on hospital services, because half are asymptomatic and the vast majority are mild cases and young people ", she explained.
The Health Ministry considers that all the measures adopted by the autonomous communities to stop transmission are adequate.
Average age of cases is 45, but starting to increase again
The average age of positive cases diagnosed this Thursday is 45, although the Health Ministry is starting to see a rise in the age of the latest patients, something which she said: "worries us because age is the factor that is most associated with the severity of the disease. "

WHO
This afternoon the WHO, which also only measures cases diagnosed by PCR, reported that there are now more than 15 million cases worldwide, and that the number of deaths has passed 620,000. Almost half of all cases relate to just three countries; the USA, India and Brazil.
