Unlike those observed in recent weeks, this Friday there has been an

increase in the number of new Covid cases,

which refers to the confirmed cases notified until July 20.

Specifically, if 41,683 new cases of coronavirus were registered last Tuesday (confirmed until July 17),

15,952 positives less than the previous report from last Friday,

this Friday there were 72,704, which is 31,021 more than three days ago

.

As for those over 60 years of age, they represent 34,342 new cases;

that is, 11,116 more than those notified last Tuesday.

Of course, the figures are far from the highest peak of cases reflected in the July 1 report, with 84,146.

This increase in the number of cases is especially notable in Navarra, where

the San Fermín festivities have been noted

, since

this community leads the registration of new cases

:

33,838

(12,995 in those over 60 years of age), followed at a considerable distance by the rest, even by the autonomies that headed the ranking in the previous report, where they were the Valencian Community, with 5,423, and Madrid, with 5,366.

Now, Navarra is followed by Madrid (6,473 new cases) and the Valencian Community (4,756).

As for the accumulated incidence rate in the last 14 days, it stands at

858.24 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

, lower than that registered in the last two reports (1,018 on Tuesday and

1,158.54 last Friday).

What is happening in hospitals

, an indicator of the seriousness of the healthcare capacity situation?

Here there has been a decrease, according to the latest Health data, with

10,489 Covid patients admitted, 1,090 less

than those reflected in the previous report.

In the ICU, this downward trend is also confirmed, with 513 patients admitted, 34 fewer.

No breakdown of income 'with or by Covid'

Although Health

agreed in the Interterritorial Council last Wednesday that it would incorporate the differentiation

of income 'with or by Covid' in a section in the data reports on the evolution of Covid-19,

that distinction has not yet become a reality

.

In the case of deaths, it refers to deceased 'by Covid'.

Thus,

in the last 7 days there are 518 cases, which is 136 more than those registered in the previous report

.

As of today, the total number of deaths is 110,187 according to the official registry, with a global mortality rate of the pandemic per 100,000 inhabitants at 232.21, similar to that of last Tuesday, at 231.06, and

a 3 .6% overall lethality in people over 60 years of age

.
