The third wave hits Spain hard.

Although the number of coronavirus infections reported by the Ministry of Health is lower than that registered on Wednesday (38,869),

the 35,878 this Thursday are the second worst record

in the series that began almost a year ago.

Regarding deceased people, the department still headed by Salvador Illa has reported

201 new

deaths, so the official death toll from Covid in Spain amounts to 53,079, always according to official figures from Health, which are much lower This is reflected in other organizations such as the

National Institute of Statistics

or the

Carlos III Health Institute

.

The cumulative incidence (AI) in the last 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants stands at 522, compared to 492 on Wednesday.

The situation remains especially uncontrolled in Extremadura, where the AI ​​is already 1167.36 (1131.02 the day before).

With some not so dramatic but far from positive numbers are Murcia (761.30), La Rioja (719.39), Castilla-La Mancha (690.11), Valencian Community (667.88), Madrid (636, 10), the Balearic Islands (624.21) and Castilla y León (611.87).

"We continue to increase the number of cases," said

Fernando Simón

, director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, and has advanced that infections will continue to grow in the coming days: "The incidence at 14 days will continue to be high."

Simón has stressed that "the increase has been very fast" in the previous days.

"There has been a significant change in the autonomous communities on January 8, 9," he

detailed, "consistent with the transmission in a very short period of two or three days at the end of the year."

"We would have to implement very forceful measures, on the level of those that increased in the peak period of the second wave," said the Health spokesman, although he commented that the rate at which cases are growing "has stabilized."

That is, they will continue to rise, but according to this analysis, they will not do it any faster.

There are currently 18,924 patients admitted for Covid-19 throughout Spain (18,215 yesterday) and 2,849 in the ICU (2,744 yesterday).

In the last 24 hours, there have been 2,700 admissions (2,493 yesterday) and 1,949 new arrivals (1,811 yesterday).

The occupancy rate of beds occupied by coronavirus stands at 15.14 percent (14.64% yesterday) and in ICUs at 28.46 percent (27.76% yesterday).

"The increase in the number of deaths is usually observed two or three weeks after observing the increases in transmission", has warned Simón, which means that we are not yet seeing the foreseeable increase in deaths derived from the increase in infections in the year New.

"The British strain has had a very small effect on what we have been observing so far," said Simón, who insisted that the current increase is not due to this variant, although he warned: "Of course, we are concerned" .

"Right now, in our territory, it is not occupying the ecological niche," he indicated, and defended that it is normal to find it "if you look" in people who are more likely to have contracted this variant, such as patients who have been in UK.
