"We have had three consecutive days of decline or stabilization of the indicators of the evolution of the pandemic.

I would ask for prudence to confirm the consolidation of the data"

, said Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, after reporting the balance of the National Transplant Organization (ONT) during the past fiscal year.

The Minister of Health has responded this Friday to the request of the Madrid businessmen to further reduce the quarantines that "

we must be prudent" and has appealed to all the communities to "heed the agreements"

that they have reached between all and " continue advancing from unanimity".

The quarantines are one week in this sixth wave (from those of between 12 and 14 days made since the start of the pandemic) and a new cut in the duration of the confinements, following the initiatives of other countries, between 4 or 5 days, it is not on the agenda of the Ministry of Health with the current data.

The latest data updated by Health show that the

incidence drops for the third consecutive day

, albeit very slightly, and stands at 3,279.36 cases per 100,000 inhabitants during the last 14 days throughout Spain.

On Wednesday it was at 3,286.44 and a week ago, last Thursday, at 3,156.6

"That the hospitalization and ICU indicators begin to stabilize

is very important, but there is still a significant level of virus circulation

and we must continue to persevere to reduce all the indicators," said the Minister of Health.

This Thursday, 18,934 Covid patients admitted to Spanish hospitals have been counted, representing 15.20% of the places compared to 19,000 (15.25) on Wednesday and 17,269 (13.87%) a week ago.

For this indicator, the situation is still 'very high' risk.

For their part, the ICUs are at “high” risk, but their occupation by Covid patients also experiences a small reduction compared to the previous days.

The minister has defended the ministerial response given to the pandemic as well as the change in measures to face the sixth wave, dominated by the highly contagious omicron variant, such as the mandatory use of the mask outdoors and the reduction of quarantine for those infected and the non-need for isolation of those vaccinated with close contact.

"Spain has led the

adaptation of the strategic response

to the situation of the evolution of the pandemic: we made casualties more flexible from 10 to 7 days and established that close contacts with a vaccine schedule did not have to be quarantined, but I think we must be prudent and go from the hand unanimously", he said.

Once again, since he is in charge of Health, he has asked to work together, from the Alerts Conference, the Public Health Commission and the Interterritorial Council.

"The most important thing: that we respond and pay attention to the agreements that we have all given", concluded the minister after presenting the balance of the ONT's activity in the past year.
