ARCHIVED - Increase of 37,889 Covid cases in Spain between Friday and Monday
The percentage of hospital beds occupied by covid patients across Spain has exceeded 10% for the first time since the "new normal" began.
The Spanish Ministry of Health has communicated an increase of 37,889 coronavirus cases between Friday afternoon (16th October) and Monday lunchtime (19th October), a figure that represents, on average, about 12,630 positives a day.
Although almost every day there are “record levels of contagion” somewhere in Spain, this is the worst daily data for new cases since the 'new normal' began on 21st June and a figure that breaks a period of relative stability in the accumulated incidence curve; this latest set of data take the average number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants to a new maximum level of 312, 22 positives per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days across Spain, a rise of 30 points since Friday.
Navarra heads up the list of regions with a whopping 945 cases per 100,000 of population and this afternoon announced that it was voluntarily confining the region and ordering the compulsory closure of bars and restaurants as well as limiting the opening times of retail shops in a bid to bring the number of cases, and number of deaths, down.
Melilla follows with 713,40; La Rioja, 530.94; Aragón, 509.36; Castilla y León 486.17; Madrid 439.33; Ceuta 396.33; Catalonia 360.29; Basque Country 351.12; Murcia 346.81; Castilla la Mancha 341.10; Extremadura 297.83; Andalucía 270.81; Asturias 247.16; Galicia 166.85;Cantabria 151.27; Balearic Islands 129.71; Valencia Region 115.75; Canary Islands 77.23.
Other areas of Europe are also reporting rising accumulated incidence rates; Belgium 723.5; France 406.6; the UK 310.3 and the Netherlands 486.3
It’s highly likely given the recent rises in infections that Spain will pass the one million positive diagnoses mark this week, given that these latest additions take the overall total of positive cases to date up to 974,449.
In his presentation Fernando Simón, director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (Ccaes), admitted that hopes for a stabilisation could be premature: "In the last week that stabilization that we were observing seems to have again assumed a small upward trend, " he said, "We are in a situation in which we could be in that same phase of ascent that we have observed in Europe," he stated, and that the situation is not evolving "as well as we would like it to".
He accepted that we are all starting to feel more than a small degree of Covid fatigue, "we are all very tired," and “the public is very tired of the restrictive measures,”saying that for this reason "it is easy to understand" that if very harsh measures have to be reimposed, "it will cost a lot to implement them."
He reiterated yet again that the Spanish government is not planning to extend the state of emergency applied in Madrid but warned that the northern hemisphere is approaching the start of winter and that “if we are not careful, we will have an increase in the number of new cases once again due to the onset of the winter respiratory illnesses.”
Fatalities:
217 deaths have been reported since Friday across Spain, and so far in October 2,201 people have already died, 632 more than the deaths registered between the equivalent period in September. The number of deaths so far from the pandemic has risen today to 33,992.
Hospitalisations:
Unfortunately, the data today offers no glimmers of hope for those seeking positivity amongst the coronavirus data as the latest available figure for hospital admissions is 12,945 patients hospitalised throughout the country (almost 10% more than last Friday) and 1,857 in intensive care units (5% more in ICUs than on Friday).
Patients with Covid now occupy 10.4% of all available beds, exceeding the 10% threshold for the first time. The Region of Madrid has 20.4% of its beds occupied and there are now eight regions that exceed 10% occupancy.
The Region of Madrid continues to present the worst figures for ICU occupancy, and is suffering the greatest pressure with 38.85% occupancy, but there are already three other regions where the percentages exceed 35%. These are Aragon (38.34%), Castilla y León (36.36%) and La Rioja (38.33%).
Two largest urban areas of Spain:
The Region of Madrid, which is currently in a state of emergency is the region being most closely watched, and this Monday reported a total of 4,598 positives since Friday (according to the data published by Madrid on its own, 600 new positives have been registered this Monday -232 in the last hours- and 29 deaths). The incidence has fallen 2.4% compared to Friday, but remains above the average with 439.33.
Catalonia has experienced the highest growth in positives and incidence in all of Spain, and since Friday has notified 8,652 new positives, and its accumulated incidence rate has soared by 25% to 360.29 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
