Of the total of 130 cases registered in the last day, approximately half are young people between 15 and 30 years old . In addition, 59% of new cases are contacts, which is "positive news, because it is indicating that we are detecting early not only the cases but the contacts."

Navarra performs 1,300 daily PCRs and 10 percent of them give a positive result, "indicating that there is a good agreement between the PCR request and the positivity."

The Mendillorri outbreak has registered six new cases, to accumulate 122, although, according to the counselor, more could be recorded throughout the morning. "This is not good news for anyone, we neither expected nor wanted it . Fortunately, we had been working and preparing the care and contingency plans at all levels, in Primary Care, hospitals, emergencies, critical materials, tracking and testing capacity", the counselor has assured.
