ARCHIVED - Spain enters medium risk range: Covid update November 4
ARCHIVED ARTICLE
Hospital and ICU occupancy in Spain remains at low risk
As the first working week of November comes to a close, Spain has unfortunately moved back into the medium-risk category for coronavirus, according to the parameters set by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Covid infections
The latest data released by the Ministry of Health on Thursday November 4 show that Spain has registered 3,291 cases of coronavirus, 1,786 of which were diagnosed in the last 24 hours. This is an increase on the 1,515 infections registered on Wednesday and brings the total number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic to 5,022,546.
Cumulative incidence rate
On October 7, as much of the country began to relax restrictions in anticipation of a ‘new normal’, Spain entered the low-risk category (between 25 and 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants). This level hadn’t been reached in this country since July 28, 2020, when the curve of the first wave began to fall.
The 14-day incidence rate rebounded at the end of October, reaching 52.41 cases but dropped once again until this Thursday, with a rise of 2.3 points in just 24 hours.
The cumulative incidence rate not stands at 51.61 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Hospitalisations and fatalities
There are currently 1,799 patients admitted to hospitals across Spain with Covid, 400 of which are in the ICU. In the last 24 hours, there have been 225 new admissions although 210 people have been discharged.
Despite a rise in cases, hospital pressure remains stable overall, with 1.52% of general beds available in hospital occupied by coronavirus patients and 4.37% in ICUs. These figures keep hospital occupancy firmly in the low-risk category.
Fifteen additional Covid-related deaths have been registered by the Ministry, bringing the weekly total to 52. These figures bring the overall death toll since the beginning of the pandemic to 87,477.
Vaccination data
As of Thursday, a total of 37,360,864 people had been fully vaccinated, representing 88.7% of the population, bringing Spain ever closer to the elusive herd immunity. In addition, some 38,071,080 people, or 90.4%, have received at least one jab.
