ARCHIVED - 580 new Covid cases in Spain during the last 24 hours
70% of the new cases are in Aragon and Catalonia
The number of daily coronavirus infections in Spain continues to grow and the Ministry of Health has notified 580 new cases in the last 24 hours on Thursday, 70% of them in Aragon and Catalonia, bringing the total figure for the entire pandemic to 258,855.
The bulk of the new cases are in Aragón (266) and Cataluña (142).
Andalucía: 27
Aragón: 266
Asturias: 0
Baleares: 3
Canarias: 11
Cantabria: 2
Castilla-La Mancha: 24
Castilla y León: 6
Cataluña: 142
Ceuta: 0
Comunidad Valenciana: 23
Extremadura: 10
Galicia: 5
Madrid: 19
Melilla: 0
Murcia: 4
País Vasco: 16
La Rioja: 0
This is a significant increase from the 390 published on Wednesday, which was itself the highest daily total since May.
Apart from the obviously difficult situation in these two regions, these 580 new official infections nationwide are the highest number of new infections, not only since the end of the de-escalation on June 21st, but since Sunday, May 10th.
All the indicators are now showing that the evolution of the pandemic has worsened significantly. In particular, the number of cases with a diagnosis date during the last 7 days has shot up today to 1,023 positives, a figure unequalled since the start of the de-escalation. Today there are seven times more new cases than were reported on Thursday, June 18th, exactly four weeks ago.
There have been three deaths in the last 24 hours, one less than Wednesday, which brings the overall number to 28,416 since the start of the pandemic.
Covid newsbites:
Balearic islands closes more tourist drinking hotspots
The Balearic Islands Government has extended the provisional closure of entertainment venues and shops that sell alcohol to the streets of General García Ruiz and Federico García Lorca de Magaluf , which are added to the closure of the Punta Ballena establishments and two streets from the playa de Palma decreed on Wednesday due to concerns about the behaviour of young tourists from not only Spain, but also other countries who are failing to observe social distancing and measures introduced to halt the spread of Covid.
Videos of young people drinking heavily, not wearing masks or social distancing created considerable anger at the weekend, with videos of both British nationals and those from other countries, including Spain, widely shared on social media and in the international press.
Spain is determined to underline the safety of its tourist centres, hence the closure of key drinking hotspots in the islands.
Catalonia
The worst outbreaks at the moment are in Catalonia (Cataluña), specifically in Lleida province. During the last 24 hours, Catalonia has registered 1,293 new Covid-19 positives, of which 178 correspond to the Segrià region and 123 to L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), according to data released this Thursday by the Health Department.
Nearly 6,000 PCR tests have tested positive in Catalonia since the state of alarm ended, according to data from the Agency for Health Assessment and Quality (AQuAS), and almost half have been in the last week alone. Hospitals are preparing for this increase in infections and, despite the fact that many professionals agree that now "everything is more protocolized", they point out that "health professionals are already exhausted" after three months of work without rest. More resource is needed they say.
-The total number of outbreaks in Spain is 224, with 158 active and 1973 associated cases. "Two or three of those outbreaks have between 100 and 200 associated cases, the others are much smaller," said the Director of the CCAES in a press conference this afternoon to present the daily covid figures. In spite of the high transmissions in Catalonia and Aragon, hospitalization continues to decline," he said, pointing out that the average age of patients has fallen again, from 62 years at the peak of the pandemic to 46 in men. and 50 in women due to the large number of cases amongst the younger population.
49% of the outbreaks have a mixed family or family origin (ramifications between the groups with which the family has a relationship) and he highlighted that it is those generated in nightlife venues that cause the most danger. This is because attendees come from multiple locations and risk practices are higher.
- More than 57% of the patients hospitalized by COVID-19 in Spain developed some type of neurological symptom and these were the main cause of death in 4% of the deceased.
- Most supermarket single-use surgical and hygienic masks have very good filtration efficiencies, exceeding 95%, according to a study by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU).
- Masks will be compulsory in Castilla y León in all public spaces from Saturday onwards. The Canary Islands has decided not to impose the same restrictions as other regions but will instead "intensify its vigilance" and "impose more sanctions" on those not observing the existing regulations.
- People whose body mass index (BMI) is categorised as “obese”, albeit to a moderate level, are at higher risk of suffering from covid-19 more severely or dying, according to a study published today by the European Journal of Endocrinology.
- The use of the mask is mandatory as of today Wednesday in Cantabria in the streets and outdoor spaces and in closed spaces open to the public or for public use, regardless of whether the minimum safety distance of one and a half meters can be maintained .
- The Ministry of Health is holding a videoconference meeting with the health departments of all of the autonomous regions this afternoon to approve the "Early response control plan of the COVID-19 pandemic" to prepare for a second wave of the virus and agree co-ordinated actions between the regional governments of the country.
- The United States broke its daily record of COVID-19 infections with 74,513 on Wednesday, surpassing 70,000 for the first time and bringing the total number of cases in the country most hit by the pandemic to date up to 3,490,735.
- UK 642 new cases today. The British Ministry of Health has registered 642 infections and 66 deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of infected to 292,552 and the death toll to 45,119.
- The Government of Aragon has appealed to the responsibility of those from Zaragoza, requesting that from today they do not leave the city or its surrounding urban area due to the significant increase in infections of the covid-19 and has incorporated the city of Barbastro in Huesca to the so-called “flexible phase 2” applied to other areas of the region at the moment.

- Military personnel are arriving at the town of Albalate de Cinca, located in one of the comarcas of the province of Huesca bordering Lérida, to collaborate in the tasks of control and support for the 28 temporary agricultural workers affected by covid-19 who remain confined in the municipal festivities area of the town. The military will be installing better facilities for the workers and building a field camp in which to make their quarantine confinement more comfortable.
