• Covid-19.Coronavirus Spain today, live breaking news

The Ministry of Health has published its new daily report on the evolution of the coronavirus epidemic just a few hours before Pedro Sánchez appears after the Council of Ministers that is called to approve the de-escalation plan.

The new official data shows 1,308 new cases diagnosed by PCR, bringing the total official figure since the start of the epidemic to 210,773 cases, 0.6% more than the previous day when they grew by 0.9%. To this figure should be added the cases diagnosed by antibody tests that Health has expressly stopped publishing because they cannot locate the contagion over time and consider that, therefore, in this state of evolution of the epidemic they are not relevant to assess the current transmission grade.

The death toll has grown by 301 fatalities in the past 24 hours , slightly less than the day before when it grew by 331 deaths, to 23,822 official deaths from coronavirus. To this figure should be added the one claimed by various autonomous communities such as Madrid and Catalonia for deaths in their residences and homes, which in the case of these communities almost doubles the official figure. Health only counts cases with a confirmed diagnosis of coronavirus, but not suspects who have not had a positive test.

The number of healed now amounts to 102,548 people after adding 1,673 on the last day, somewhat less than the previous day when this number grew by 2,144 new discharges per cure.

In addition, as of this Monday, Health provides the joint data of hospitalized and ICU patients, which total 114,959 hospitalized (after increasing this figure by 716 people on the last day) and 10,364 ICU admissions after raising this figure by only 46 people in the last day.

Although the containment measures are being relaxed, experts say that the epidemic is not controlled and that there is a risk of a re-emergence in Spain due to the opening of the measures, as has happened in Singapore or Japan.
