Strong

increase in the number of coronavirus infections

, which once again exceeds the 10,000 barrier in one day.

The report published this Wednesday by the Ministry of Health registers

11,193 new confirmed cases

added to the global figure (614,360);

They are 1,756 more than on Tuesday, when 9,437 were reported.

It must also be taken into account that Murcia has not been able to update its data due to technical problems.

Of those 11,193 infections included in the ministry's statistics, 4,728 positives have undergone the PCR test in the last 24 hours.

Madrid continues to lead: it adds 1,854 in the last hours, a figure very far from the rest of the communities.

The Basque Country and Andalusia are behind with 429 and 327 new infected people, respectively.

Health has reported, on the other hand,

239 new deaths

since Tuesday, which already amounts to 30,243 the total number of people killed by Covid-19 in our country.

Of course, the figure does not include deaths in residences or those who presented symptoms characteristic of the virus, but who could not undergo a PCR.

With a death date in the last week, 366 deaths have been reported

, an indicator that also continues to rise.

Most of them are concentrated in Madrid, which communicates 124;

Andalusia, 59;

Castilla y León and the Basque Country, 37;

Valencia, 16;

Canarias, 14;

and Baleares, 10. In addition, Navarra has notified nine;

Castilla La Mancha, eight;

Catalonia and La Rioja, seven;

Ceuta, three;

Asturias and Murcia, two;

and Cantabria, Extremadura and Melilla, one.

Aragon has been the only community that has not added any deaths in the last week.

Despite the fact that Covid-19 infections continue to skyrocket, current circumstances still cannot be compared to March, among other issues, because the rates of income and deaths still do not reflect such rapid growth as that of confirmed cases.

However, although the increase in these last curves is slower, it is still an increase and the reality is that it is becoming more and more worrying.

The death toll has more than doubled in just two weeks.

Specifically, between August 26 and September 2, Health accumulated a total of 177 deaths, more than half of the 366 reported registered today.

Then Madrid counted 67 deceased;

Andalusia and Castilla y León, 23;

and Valencia and Galicia, 12.

Regarding

hospital admissions

, the official report communicates

2,232 in the last seven days

and 1,315 in the last 24 hours.

Andalusia continues to be the community that is registering the most hospitalizations with 418 in the last week, followed by Madrid, which has 380.

On the other hand,

154 patients have entered the ICU in the same period of time

(on Tuesday, 138) and 36 more since yesterday.

Health has also reported that 1,123 patients have been discharged in the last 24 hours.

Regarding the healthcare capacity of Spanish hospitals to assist infected people, Health reveals that, on average,

the percentage of beds occupied by coronavirus in Spain remains at 8.5%

.

The regions with the most occupation continue to be Madrid (22%), Castilla La Mancha (13%) and Aragón and the Basque Country (12%).

At the European level,

Spain continues to be the second country in Europe with the most infections

since the arrival of the Covid (614,360), only behind Russia (1,073,849).

Likewise, they are followed by the United Kingdom and France, with 395,104 and 374,228, respectively.

The country with the highest number of deaths continues to be the United Kingdom (41,664), followed by Italy (35,633) and France (30,999).

In addition, Spain continues

to lead in cumulative incidence (AI) in the last 14 days

among the European countries that have registered the most infections.

Our country reports

256 positives for every 100,000 inhabitants

.

France is in second position, with 152 infected.

Both countries present an AI rate far from the following in the ranking: Belgium, with 77;

Romania, with 73;

and the Netherlands, with 71.

Concern about the rebound in infections in the Community of Madrid

The acceleration of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Community of Madrid is also reflected in

the data provided by its autonomous government

and that, as with other regions, do not exactly coincide with those of the central Executive.

But they do point the same trend.

The updated figures from the Ministry of Health have registered 3,433 new infections this Wednesday, 1,501 in the last 24 hours (compared to 912 on Tuesday).

Therefore, there are already 181,924 people infected since the beginning of the pandemic in the region.

In addition, the count of the autonomous government includes

27 new deaths in the last day

in the Community of Madrid.

With them, the global number of those there who died from Covid-19 amounts to 15,920 people.

The truth is that

the contagion curve in Madrid is of particular concern.

It has been several weeks since it became the main viral focus in Spain and, since then, the high rates of infections, deaths and income in comparison with the rest of the communities stand out.

After the dramatic situation experienced in the months of March and April, the circumstances of now, although they are not the same, are already disturbing.

The regional government

is considering new restrictive measures starting next weekend

and that include possible confinements in those areas where community transmission is greater.
