ARCHIVED - 162 deaths and 11,291 new cases in 24 hours; Spain coronavirus 17th September
WHO warns that current level of transmission in Europe is “very serious”
The Spanish Ministry of Health has notified an increase of 11,291 in the total number of coronavirus cases registered in Spain during the last 24 hours, bringing the total from the 614,360 reported on Wednesday to 625,651 on Thursday.
Using the complicated system by which the Ministry reports its coronavirus figures, 4.541 have been diagnosed in the last 24 hours and the remainder of the figures have been compiled from cases notified by the health authorities of the 17 autonomous regions of Spain in preceding days, which have now been verified and entered into the system in the last 24 hours, bringing the total up to the 11,291 by which the figures have increased in the last 24 hours.
This does of course, mean that some of the cases reported today by the autonomous communities are not included in the total shown today, but will be incorporated over the next few days as they are verified; the Ministry is always “playing catch-up”.
For this reason, the figures published by the Ministry showing the breakdown of new cases by region on the official daily report must be taken with a pinch of salt, as they do not reflect the figures actually reported on any given day.
However, there is no doubt whatsoever, that the figures do represent a significant upward movement and in most cases the total increase from day to day is the figure most widely used.

Fatalities:
162 fatalities have been verified by the Ministry in the last 24 hours, bringing the total during the last 7 days up to 419 (on a rolling basis).
The total number of fatalities officially diagnosed by PCR is now 30,405.
Hospitalisations:
At the moment there are 10,003 patients hospitalised with coronavirus across Spain, and 1,331 in intensive care units.
During the last 24 hours, there have been 1317 admissions and 1036 discharges, giving a balance of 281 more patients than yesterday.
The occupancy of beds by coronavirus patients across Spain is 8.6%, although there is significant regional variation.
Cases amongst medical staff
59,858 confirmed cases have been reported in health personnel up to September 16th. However, since May 11th, 9,438 have been infected, of which 5,326 work in a health center, 3,038 in a social health center and 1,074 in another center.
More than 850 new outbreaks in a week
Since the de-escalation ended, 4,673 outbreaks have been reported with around 44,500 cases, affecting all autonomous communities and cities. Since the last update (10.09.2020), 851 new outbreaks accounting for around 5,150 cases have been reported.
79.1 percent of the outbreaks are small, with fewer than 10 cases. The outbreaks with the highest number of cases, some with more than 100, have occurred in leisure settings, among workers in vulnerable situations and in social and health centers.
Of the outbreaks reported in the last week, the area in which the highest number of outbreaks and cases has been recorded continues to be social, representing 38.2 percent of outbreaks and 36.5 percent of cases. Among them, outbreaks related to family and friends gatherings (266 outbreaks and 1,491 cases) stand out, which continue to increase.
It is worth highlighting those outbreaks that affect members of the same family living in different homes (18% of the outbreaks and 14.5% of the cases) and those with a mixed component, where transmission moves, for example, from the family environment to other areas, such as labor or social, or vice versa (12.8% of outbreaks and 13.8% of
the cases).
Other relevant outbreaks are those that occur in the workplace, which account for 13.3 percent of the outbreaks reported in this last week and 13.1 percent of the cases. Outbreaks related to workers in situations of social vulnerability (seasonal workers and fruit and vegetable companies) stand out in this classification.
Also in recent weeks there has been an increase in job outbreaks that occur in catering establishments and in the business and construction sectors. In addition, outbreaks that occur in social and health centers continue to increase (9.9% of outbreaks and 13.1% of cases) and those that occur in health centers (3.5% of outbreaks and 4.6% of cases).
WHO warns that current level of transmission in Europe is “very serious”
The regional director for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO), Hans Kluge, has warned that currently the transmission level of coronavirus in Europe is "very serious", given that weekly cases have exceeded those reported when the pandemic reached its maximum peak in March.
At a press conference, Kluge pointed out that more than half of European countries have experienced a 10 percent growth in Covid-19 cases and, of these, seven have doubled their incidence of infections. "Although these numbers reflect further testing, they also show alarming transmission rates across Europe," he said.
Kluge reported that in the first week of September there was an increase in cases among the oldest age groups, 50-64 and 65-79 years, although the highest proportion is still found among people from 25 to 49 years old. "This pandemic has taken a lot from us. In Europe, there have been 4,893,614 cases of Covid-19 and 226,524 deaths, but this tells only part of the story, as the impact on our mental health, economies, livelihoods and society has been monumental, "Kluge said.
For this reason, he has made a call for regional coherence, and for a greater collective effort to be made by all of Europe, recalling that the response to the pandemic has been "very effective" when actions have been implemented quickly and decisively, but not so much when "partisanship" and "misinformation have prevailed.
