Live Coronavirus today, last minute
Coronavirus The incidence continues to escalate (252.16) and places Spain again at extreme risk
Pandemic Why we can never live with Covid as with the flu
The CCAA have expressed their concern this Wednesday in the Interterritorial Council before the
escalation of the incidence
, which has returned to extreme risk with an AI of 252. Up to seven communities have transferred to the Ministry of Health the
request that it take more restrictive measures on a national scale
to stop the advance of the delta variant, which is already the majority in several Spanish regions.
Thus, the autonomous communities experience different realities depending on the evolution of the pandemic in each territory.
This is the case of
Castilla y León
, which has even asked the ministry to intervene so that curfews can be approved, since for this it would be necessary to re-approve the state of alarm.
Before this request, the Minister of Health,
Carolina Darias
, has affirmed that
this type of measures "are not on the table"
, and that "measures have not been proposed beyond those that are already being implemented by the autonomous communities. according to the approved framework of common action ".
But also Galicia, Catalonia, Cantabria, Aragon, Navarra and the Balearic Islands
have asked the central government to approve tougher measures
and provide them with the tools to be able to stop contagions.
Thus,
Catalonia
has once again closed nightlife, while
Galicia
, for example, will require the presentation of a negative PCR test in the 48 hours prior to the use of nightlife venues in those localities that are at medium risk and also It will seal off parks, beaches and places of concentration of young people throughout the community to avoid bottles at night, since they are "a source of contagion", according to the president of the Xunta, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
For its part,
Aragón
has decided to restrict nightlife, whose closing hours had recently been extended to 3 in the morning and which will close again at midnight, while the hospitality industry must close its doors at 23:00.
Navarra will
also
advance the closure of nightlife, in its case until one in the morning.
In addition, six other autonomies -Murcia, Valencian Community, Extremadura, Basque Country, Canary Islands and Asturias- have affirmed to this newspaper that they will demand this type of tougher measures if there is an increase in hospital pressure in their territories.
Only Madrid, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and La Rioja rule out this type of measure for the moment.
In this sense, the minister stated that, despite the incidence and number of infections being progressively growing, "we have to
focus on other indicators, such as hospital and ICU pressure and fatality
, beyond incidence We have a very high incidence and we must stop it, but, after a year and a half, we have not only learned to fight the virus, but to detect it better, and that is where we must focus our efforts. "
Other autonomies, such as Cantabria and Extremadura, value
vaccinating "as soon as possible" those under 29 years of age
, something that Darias has valued positively, stating that "it is a strategy that can bear fruit."
In addition, the minister has advanced that it is intended to vaccinate as soon as possible an age group that has been somewhat unprotected due to the 16-week interval prescribed in the vaccine they received, that of
AstraZeneca
.
These are the
elderly between 60 and 69 years
of
age
, who, of those who have barely received the full guideline -much below those over 70 and, soon, those under 59- and who, thanks to a new batch of AZ vaccinations, Darias is confident that he will be fully
vaccinated over 90% the last week of July
.
CHANGE OF TREND
The pandemic has changed trend, with the
"stabilization of transmission in the population groups with the highest vaccination rate and a notable increase among the youngest,"
as stated by the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, at the press conference after the celebration of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System.
Although, as Darias has recalled,
the course of the disease among young people is usually milder or asymptomatic
, "one in every hundred young people between 20 and 25 years old who are infected requires admission to the ICU", a percentage that reaches 3% in the age group 30 to 39 years.
In addition, "this increase among the young may affect the elderly who have not developed immunity."
And, according to the minister, it is a group of infected "with a
high degree of dissemination
, since the infections are occurring indoors and with low observance of security measures."
However, Darias has stated that this increase in infections
"is not increasing the pressure in hospitals, but in primary care
.
"
For this reason, he considers it essential to highlight the "importance of cutting transmission with the prevention measures that we know and early detection".
For this, he explained that the Ministry of Health has made available to the autonomous communities "the strategic reserve of material that we have and antigen tests to improve detection."
Likewise, the Ministry of Defense has again made available to the regions
more trackers of the Armed Forces
, which have already been requested by the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Castilla y León and the Valencian Community.
