Diagnosed cases of coronavirus spread throughout the country, but in some areas of Spain the virus has hit harder, with incidence rates well above the national average. Click or hover over the interactive map to see information on the number of patients with a diagnosis confirmed by Covid-19, the incidence and the date of data update for each municipality.

Nine autonomous communities publish 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 .

The municipal information available, from 2,545 localities where 67% of the Spanish population lives, represents about 70% of the diagnosed cases, although the data from Andalusia include positives through rapid tests and not only those known by PCR tests. that details the Ministry of Health and those of the Balearic Islands include suspected but unconfirmed cases.

Among the municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants, San Llorenç Savall (Barcelona) has the highest incidence rate of the disease: 4,382 positives per 100,000. They are followed by Mediona (Barcelona), Villanueva del Rey (Córdoba), Bagà (Barcelona), Loiu (Vizcaya) and La Fuliola (Lérida), with rates exceeding 3,000 cases for every 100,000 residents.

At the province level, among those with available information, Álava is the one that shows the highest incidence rate with respect to its population, with 1,373.9 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by Madrid (969.5), Vizcaya (861.4) and Barcelona (770.1).

Only Las Palmas has an incidence below 100 positives for every 100,000 inhabitants.

Other territories offer geographic data on the incidence of the coronavirus in each health area, but not at the municipal level. This type of delimitation has been chosen by Castilla y León to determine by zones the passage from one phase to another in the de-escalation.
