Health Health approves the new Covid traffic light without restrictive measures and the third dose for the group between 60 and 69 years old and health personnel
Restrictions Health proposes reduction of capacity and hourly limitation for the hospitality industry in the new Covid traffic light
Sanidad gave the green light to a new
traffic light
.
A new system of indicators with new ranges adapted to the current situation, with 79.1% of the population vaccinated
.
Carolina Darias, Minister of Health, stressed, after said announcement, that prevention "is our best ally to keep the virus at bay, with the measures that I want to reiterate: the use of masks, which is still mandatory indoors (and outdoors when you cannot keep your distance) as established by law 2/2021, ventilation, hand washing and vaccination as the most important weapon ».
The Public Health Commission, in which the autonomies and the Ministry are present, approved the basis for what will be the third update of the document
Coordinated response actions to control the transmission of Covid-19
.
Only the
semaphore
was agreed
,
because
it was not possible to mark agreements regarding the restrictions
contained in the working document to which EL MUNDO had access.
For Jesús Molina Cabrillana, spokesperson for the Spanish Society of Preventive Medicine, Public Health and Hygiene (SEMPSPH), this change is "completely pertinent. That is, it is no longer the same or incidence of 50, increasing because we have a level of protection with the vaccine quite high, with which what we are seeing now that the cases are much milder. "
He also points out the usefulness of being able to "
distinguish between vaccinated and unvaccinated, so that we are more aware of the impact that vaccination has had
."
Evolution vaccinated not vaccinated
Another new indicator refers to the seven-day rate of hospitalization and ICU admission. "It is essential to know how these data vary in the last seven days, that is,
before the only thing we had was the accumulated
, a global percentage, it was not taken into account that it is a disease that when the patient is admitted, many times it will be a lot time.
And occupancy rates remain rigid,
"explains Molina.
With all this, the SEMPSPH spokesperson highlights that now "
the system counts a lot of people who have mild or asymptomatic Covid because, simply, the response capacity of the
health
system
and the diagnostic capacity
are greatly increased
, with which we can detect many asymptomatic cases. This is reflected in the fact that there are many cases, but not all of them will depend on hospitalization. "
Therefore, in the face of a virus that is still present and on which it has been possible to reduce the impact it causes on the body, "we must continue to promote the use of a mask, the monitoring of indoor ventilation and the safety distance", emphasizes Molina.
Manuel Franco, professor at the universities of Alcalá and Johns Hopkins and spokesman for the Spanish Society of Public Health and Health Administration (Sespas), points out that "
the general message must be that we have not overcome the virus and we do not return to normality, but rather to a situation that is new, more controlled
and we have to maintain vigilance and prepare all non-pharmacological measures for when they are necessary. "
In this sense, Franco points out that "
the situation changes due to the high percentage of vaccination that makes us not sick
, we die, and that is why they call it
controlled circulation
."
Current radiography
With the new framework of indicators that was given the green light yesterday, without measures, the new epidemiological situation of the communities changes. It should be remembered that for a
region
to be considered at
very high risk, the cumulative incidence at 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants (IA) increases to 500 cases
, from
300 to 500 it
would be at
high risk
(current situation in
Navarra and the Basque Country)
, from
300 to 100 medium risk
(Aragon, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Catalonia, Valencian Community, Murcia, Galicia, Madrid and La Rioja), from 100 to 50 low risk (Andalusia, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha , Ceuta, Extremadura, and Melilla) and
less than 50, controlled circulation.
With the current national AI (139.10 in yesterday's Health report), Spain would be at medium risk or level 2 of the new traffic light. The document is completed at a lower level, by low risk, the indicators of positivity (5.59%), of hospital bed occupancy (2.42%) and the rate of new hospitalizations (one of the new indicators included that the Health reports since June 28), 6.33. Also the ICU occupancy (5.97%) and the rate of new ICU admissions (also new), 1.15.
All these values have grown from last week to the current one, and would have stopped placing our country in the new normal of the old traffic light
or controlled circulation, according to the new document.
Consulted various health and regional sources, it is not known well what will happen to the measures that will accompany the new traffic light and that would include the third update of the document, the officially called
Coordinated Response Actions for the control of the transmission of Covid-19
, that will guide the communities from now on and to face the sixth wave.
