  • Vaccination 'Mixed but not shaken', this is the third dose in Spain

The autonomous communities have notified the Ministry of Health on Tuesday

99,671 new cases of Covid-19

.

The total number of infections in Spain already rises to 6,032,297 since the start of the pandemic, according to official statistics.

The cumulative incidence in the last 14 days per 100,000 inhabitants stands at

1,360.62 compared to 1,206.31 on Wednesday

.

In the past two weeks, a total of 645,624 positives have been registered.

114 new deaths

have been added to this Tuesday's report

.

Up to 89,253 people with a positive diagnostic test have died since the virus arrived in Spain, according to data collected by the Ministry.

The situation in Spanish hospitals has worsened a bit since Monday, especially in ICUs.

Currently, there are

9,852 patients admitted for COVID-19 throughout Spain

(9,530 on Monday) and 1,736 in the ICU (1,715 on Monday).

In the last 24 hours, there have been 1,491 admissions (1,380 on Monday) and 1,105 new arrivals (534 on Monday).

The

occupancy rate for beds occupied by coronavirus

stands at 8.06% (7.69% on Monday) and in ICUs at 18.71% (18.26% on Monday).

According to the overall occupancy of beds in hospitals, being greater than 5%, Spain would be a country

at medium risk

.

However, if the occupancy in ICU is observed, being higher than 15%, this would indicate that Spain is at high risk.

The

autonomies with the ICUs most occupied

by these patients are Catalonia (36.68%), Basque Country (25.4%), Valencian Community (24.08%) and Melilla (23.53%).

Extremadura (3.63%), Galicia (6.68%), Andalusia (10.1%), and Castilla La Mancha (14.57%) remain more comfortable.

These data only contemplate

patients admitted for coronavirus

.

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

Meanwhile, the

positivity rate of the tests

carried out stands at 18.88%, compared to 17.94% on Monday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that this figure be below 5% to consider the spread of the virus as 'controlled'.

In addition, according to the traffic light that regulates risk in Spain, by exceeding this figure, 15% would go from high risk to very high risk.

AI in young people has already practically matched that of other age groups.

Those

between 20 and 29 years old once again stand out as the most affected

, with 2,258.16 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

For its part,

the group between 40 and 49 years old (1,613.75) has already been surpassed by those over 30

and under 39 (1,845.59).

In turn, the latter are close to those under 11 years of age (1,466.68).

VACCINATION PROGRESS

The slow drip of immunization continues once

89.9% of the target population has been

reached

with the complete regimen

, which represents 79.8% of the total population.

37,858,971 people have already received the complete guideline.

By age group, the group over 80 years old is the only one that reaches 100%, while

the group between 30 and 39 years old remains at 78.4%

, thus constituting the age group with the lowest percentage of vaccinated.

According to data from the Ministry of Health,

13,031,375 third doses

have already been administered

, 7,418,518 from Pfizer and 5,612,857 from Moderna.

These data show the additional doses in people over 40 years of age, essential workers or who have received Janssen.
