<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - 952 new cases as pressure on hospitals continues: Valencia Covid update November 26

The surge in new daily cases over recent weeks continues with a further 952 new infections and one death reported by the Ministry of Health.

A 54-year-old has died of the virus within the last seven days, and an outbreak with 31 cases of educational origin has been confirmed in Benicàssim.

Meanwhile, there are 100 more Covid patients being treated in hospitals across the region compared to the start of the week as Valencia's Public Prosecutor's Office today endorsed the government's plan to implement the EU Digital Covid Passport in certain leisure and hospitality venues.

The final decision is now in the hands of the Superior Court of Justice.

Whilst the President of Valencia, Ximo Puig, has ruled out other restrictions for the moment, he has admitted if the situation continues to worsen, this could change.

And the fact the 14-day cumulative incident rate has reached 165.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants will undoubtedly be cause for concern.
