  • Interview. "The viral load of the SARS-CoV-2 is up to a hundred times lower today than in March"

The Ministry of Health updates the Covid-19 cases in Spain. The data for this Saturday adds 164 new diagnosed yesterday to the total, which now reaches 241,310 confirmed total cases.

Of course, yesterday's total was 240,978, so, by subtracting, the difference would be even greater: 332 more cases . This confirms, once again, the offset or lack of correspondence between Health accounting and the autonomous communities.

The number of newly infected people decreased slightly compared to the data reported this Friday, which amounted to 177. However, the week started with a much lower figure: 96 new cases reported on Monday.

As for the deaths of the last week, they are 67, included in a total of deaths of 27,135 . Yesterday's figures spoke of 52 deaths in the last week, so there is a difference of 15 deaths.

The number of hospitalizations with an admission date in the last 7 days is also slightly higher than yesterday: 169 compared to 162 , with a total sum of 124,302 patients hospitalized for Covid-19. Although there are hardly any variations between yesterday and today in terms of ICU income for the last week (15 compared to 14 this Friday), the total is 11,604 people, 172 more than the previous day.

The case of the Basque Country

The Basque Health Minister, Nekane Murga, acknowledged at a press conference the existence of an "important controversy" regarding the mortality data offered daily by the Ministry. Specifically, he referred to the fact that this same week there was a day when 10 people died in the Basque Country and it was decided to review the causes. After the review, the number of deaths attributable to Covid-19 were four. "Our criterion is every person who dies and in the previous 60 days has had a positive test for PCR in coronavirus. And we have maintained it throughout the entire epidemic," he clarified.

Specifically, Murga has appeared this morning to report on data from the Basque Country, one of the communities that will move to the third phase next Monday: four new cases confirmed by PCR (apart from 61 by rapid test) and seven deaths recorded yesterday .
