ARCHIVED - Cases of covid in Spain increase by 12,183 in 24 hours; Friday 11th September
This brings the total number of cases of Covid-19 to 566,326
Incredible to think that today marks exactly six months since the WHO declared that the emerging Covid-19 crisis was officially a pandemic, six months which have changed our daily lives to an unbelievable extent.
We are sitting here now in a world which has recorded over 28 million cases of covid, although the true number of cases is significantly higher as most are never even detected and certainly not reported in some areas of the world, with a fatalities rate of 909,000, although again, we know that the real fatalities total passed the 1 million mark a long time ago. Our economy has shrunk here in Spain by 18%, our debt levels have grown, our jobless levels incresed and all over the country businesses are reeling from the events of the last 6 months and worrying about what is still to come.
We’re not likely to have any sort of vaccine in Spain now until the early part of next year, and many believe we are still only in the early phases of what will be a very difficult second wave this autumn, which won´t really show its teeth until temperatures fall and autumn begins in earnest.
So the figures published today, and which have been published all week, continue to be a little worrying.
On Friday the Spanish Ministry of Health notified the highest number of new covid cases in a single day, the overall total increasing by 12,183 new cases of Covid-19 to reach 566,326.
This number of cases was never reached even during the initial upward surge of cases during March, when the epidemic was in its first growth phase and the country had yet to be locked down, so although the Centro de Coordinación de Alertas y Emergencias Sanitarias (CCAES) headed up be Fernando Simón, who presents the figures daily, is keen to raise hopes that the peak of this second wave is nearing its maximum, there are very few commentators currently monitoring the evolution of the virus who agree, a wide number of factors being given for the sudden surge, but most concurring that the public has become de-sensitized by the scale of the crisis and has become too complacent about living with the virus.
Although certain allowance must be made within these figures for the adjustment process relating to the way in which these figures are compiled, the indicator given by the Spanish Ministry itself for cases notified within the last 24 hours is still historically high; 4,708 new positives diagnosed within the last 24 hours, almost 600 more than on Thursday.
Yet again Madrid delivered the highest figures in Spain, with 1,427 positives diagnosed in the last 24 hours alone, accounting for 30% of all new infections throughout the country, well above the 563 new cases registered by the Basque Country or the 403 in Andalusia. Madrid, reported an accumulated incidence of 550 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, more than twice the national average.
Breakdown diagnoses in the last 24 hours (see explanation below to understand why these do not match the figures reported by the autonomous regions.)
Andalucía: 403
• Aragón: 371
• Asturias: 46
• Baleares: 0
• Canarias: 256

• Castilla-La Mancha: 183
• Castilla y León: 63
• Cataluña: 198
• Ceuta: 10
• Comunidad Valenciana: 253

• Galicia: 172
• Madrid: 1.427
• Melilla: 26
• Murcia: 59
• Navarra: 302
• País Vasco: 593
• La Rioja: 51
Deaths:
There have been 48 deaths in the last 24 hours, and 141 in the last 7 days, bringing this total up to 29,094.
Hospitalisations:
There are currently 8,658 patients admitted with Covid-19 throughout Spain and 1,181 in an ICU intensive care unit, although in the last 24 hours there have been 1,124 admissions and 919 discharges. The occupancy rate of beds occupied by coronavirus patients in Spain is 7.5 percent.
In the last 7 days, 133 patients have been moved into intensive care, today being the highest day yet recorded.

Explanation:
The word diagnosis is important as the national daily figures never accurately match the figures reported by the WHO or Worldometre which are gathered from the figures published daily by each of Spain’s 17 Autonomous health authorities and are “reported” on a day by day basis. These are always considerably higher than the figures reported by the central Ministry as the date of diagnosis must be checked and details verified before cases are admitted into the national totals. Cases which weren’t actually diagnosed within the last 24 hours and are often included in the regional figures will appear in the overall total at some point, so the figures do balance out, albeit in a fashion which is difficult to report accurately.
The way that the Spanish media tend to arrive at the actual number of new cases is to take the final total reported and subtract it from the final total reported on the previous day, which tends to generally give a figure very close to that obtained by adding up the figures from each of the regional health authorities.
There is endless criticism of this system, but the regional authorities insist that they give the total figures to the Ministry and that the Ministry itself is responsible for filtering them and entering them into their own system, filtering the cases by date of diagnosis, by the date on which symptoms first appeared rather than date on which the case was reported.
It does lead to confusion and makes it very difficult to stand by the figures as being wholly accurate, but this is the system and the media in Spain now tend to report the total derived by the subtraction method above as opposed to the Ministry “new diagnoses”.
