  • Outbreaks - Active outbreaks have tripled since July 16

The first week of August seems to start with a decrease in the number of infections. After the number of coronavirus cases increased eightfold throughout the month of July, the figures updated this Monday by the Ministry of Health report 968 new infected people who were tested on Sunday , fifty fewer than on Friday, when they were notified 1,525. However, these data must be taken with great caution because, in his appearance, Fernando Simón has reported that there have been technical problems with the data for Catalonia, Navarra and Madrid, and his figures have not been incorporated.

However, the real data of new positives, which includes the PCRs performed in previous days, but whose diagnosis was disclosed in the last 24 hours or during the weekend (data has not been updated on Saturdays and Sundays since more than a month), is 8,532, that is, an average of about 3,000 cases during the last three days . Thus, while on Friday the total number of infections since the start of the pandemic was 288,522, this Monday this figure has risen to 297,054.

Of the 968 new infected, half are concentrated in Aragon (586) ; followed by the Basque Country (123) and Andalusia (101). The latter has tripled cases in the last week, as last Monday the region reported 31 positives. But, as we say, Catalonia, Madrid and Navarra have not updated their data due to technical problems.

The official count has also revealed 27 new deaths since Friday. Thus, the total number of people who have lost their lives to Covid-19 in our country is already 28,472. This figure does not include deaths in residences or those who had symptoms compatible with the virus but who did not undergo the diagnostic test. With a death date in the last week, the Health report registers 26 deceased.

Most of those who died in the last week correspond to Aragon (15), the region that has been hit the most by the number of outbreaks so far. Valencia, meanwhile, reports four. Castilla La Mancha and Cataluña, two. Castilla y León, Extremadura and Madrid, one. The rest of the Communities have not reported any deaths.

The number of hospitalizations continues to grow. Specifically, Health reports that 562 people have entered during the last seven days (on Friday there were 472). Of these, 37 patients have entered the ICU and 32 in the last hours (ten more than on Friday). Therefore, the total income in this hospital unit amounts to 11,809.

At the European level, Spain remains in third position by number of infections (297,054), only behind Russia (850,870) and the United Kingdom (304,695). Italy and Turkey continue in fourth and fifth position, with 248,070 and 231,869 infections, respectively. The country with the highest number of deaths remains the United Kingdom (46,201), followed by Italy (35,154) and France (30,265).

Likewise , since last Wednesday, Spain continues to lead the European countries with the highest incidence of the virus , with 62 infections per 100,000 inhabitants (on the previous day there were 57). It is followed by Russia (50.8); Belgium (46.3); and Sweden (30.7).
