• Direct. Last minute on the coronavirus

  • Hospital. This is how Isabel Zendal is inside: more than a thousand beds, the latest technology and air renewed 14 times an hour

Nurse Isabel Zendal is already the hospital in the Community of Madrid with the highest income from Covid-19 in the region.

Five weeks after its inauguration, the emergency center built in just a few months this Wednesday had

157 patients, four of them in the intensive care unit

, as specified by sources from the Ministry of Health.

According to the latest daily report on the evolution of the pandemic,

2,121 people remain hospitalized

after being infected with the coronavirus, 377 of them in critical condition.

These are figures similar to those registered in the first days of September, when the region was in the middle of the upward curve of the second wave of the pandemic.

In fact, Health is going to update this Friday the measures to try to contain the spread of the coronavirus after the positives have soared during the Christmas holidays.

The cumulative incidence in Madrid as a whole is already an average of around

400 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

, the threshold from which neighborhoods and municipalities are confined to the perimeter.

In the regional Executive they want to continue with this strategy of "surgical" action that they assure such "good results" that it has given them these months and for that reason,

new restrictions on mobility through basic health areas will

be announced this Friday

.

In addition, they will insist on the request to the Government Delegation to guarantee, through the National Police and the Civil Guard, compliance with the prohibition of entering and leaving them except for justified reasons, since in 15 of the 23 that remain closed, infections have increased instead of decreasing.

In addition, a few days ago the regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, already slipped the possibility that the curfew in force daily throughout the Community of Madrid from midnight could

be extended one more hour, until seven

in the morning.

In any case, the idea that is handled in the Puerta del Sol is that the sanitary measures applied to control the pandemic have the least possible impact on the hotel industry and commerce, two of the sectors most affected by this crisis.

Antigen test

In parallel, the mass screening plan with antigen testing will continue in areas with a high incidence of cases for the early detection of asymptomatic patients.

Along the same lines, it is planned to

carry out rapid tests on university campuses

for students who have gone home to spend Christmas.

In the last two days, the Community of Madrid has added 8,917 new positives for Covid-19 and has registered 53 deaths in hospitals of patients who had been infected.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, a total of

427,758 cases of coronavirus

have been diagnosed in the region

,

21.5% of the total in Spain, and 19,641 people have died after contracting the disease or with symptoms of suffering from it.
