So far, nine autonomous communities have published the information on the number of Covid-19 cases accumulated in each municipality. These are Madrid, Catalonia, Andalusia, the Basque Country, Murcia, Asturias, Cantabria, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands .

Among the municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants, La Fuliola (Lérida) has the highest incidence rate of the disease: 4,967 positives per 100,000. They are followed by San Llorenç Savall (Barcelona), Mediona (Barcelona), Villanueva del Rey (Córdoba), Bagà (Barcelona) and Loiu (Vizcaya), with rates exceeding 3,000 cases for every 100,000 residents .

Only Huelva, Almería and Las Palmas have an incidence below 100 positives for every 100,000 inhabitants.
