The coronavirus continues to advance rapidly in our country. This Thursday Health has confirmed a new increase in the accumulated incidence (AI) of 31 points compared to Wednesday, and the indicator already reaches

500.75 cases per 100,000 inhabitants during the last 14 days throughout the national territory

. A week ago it was at 277.59.

In the last 24 hours, there have been 27,688 new infections, almost 1,300 more than on Wednesday. In total, there are already 4,069,162 people with confirmed infection in Spain since the pandemic arrived. Most of the recent infections, as has been the case since the end of the course, have occurred among young people.

The AI ​​in the most affected age group, between 20 and 29 years old, stands at 1,581.39, climbing 73 points in one day

; and that of the group between 12 and 19 years old at 1,311.73, after rising 59 and a half points.

These age groups are beginning to be vaccinated in several communities (Madrid, Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Extremadura, the Basque Country, Navarra and Castilla-La Mancha).

Even so, the vast majority still do not have immunity and individual responsibility continues to be necessary.

If the population as a whole is taken into account, 22,949,155 people already have the full regimen (48.4%) and 28,759,879 have received at least one dose (60.6%).

Despite the constant progress in vaccination, it does not seem that the worsening of the pandemic will reverse anytime soon because

the seven-day incidence, which usually anticipates changes in trend, also maintains its upward trend

.

On Wednesday it was at 270.98 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and now it stands at 282.09.

By autonomous regions, Catalonia continues to be the most affected by the virus, with an AI of 1,107.54.

A little further down are Castilla y León (825.83), Navarra (779.19) and Aragón (587.94).

On the contrary, Ceuta (85.51), Castilla-La Mancha (151.28) and Melilla (155.04) are those with the lowest incidence.

This Thursday

the deaths shot up to 41

, when the previous day only 10 new ones had been notified.

And there are already, according to the Ministry, 81,084 people who have died in Spain from Covid since the pandemic began.

The fifth wave also reaches hospitals, where in the last two weeks the number of patients admitted by Covid has doubled.

On July 1 there were 2,357 (they represented 1.94% of the beds) and this Thursday they reached 4,705, which represents 3.91%

. The increase is less pronounced in ICUs, where in these 14 days Covid patients have gone from 584 (6.38%) to 838 (9.18%).

The saturation of ICUs is especially delicate in Catalonia (24.61%), Melilla (11.76%), the Balearic Islands (10.55%) and Madrid (9.98%).

On the opposite side, Ceuta has another day without patients admitted in serious condition;

and Extremadura (1.62%) and Murcia (2.38%) are also comfortable.

These percentages only contemplate patients admitted for coronavirus.

To calculate the real occupation, we must add those found there due to other pathologies and surgeries.

At the European level, it

only surpasses Spain (500.75) in incidence in the United Kingdom (648.6)

.

In third and fourth place are Portugal (360.1) and the Netherlands (349.1), Romania (2.9), Poland (3.0) and Germany (13.6) register the most positive data on the continent.
