For a few days, the white blanket that the

Community of Madrid

has covered

has made us forget the greater evil that 2020 brought us, but with the thaw, concern about

Covid-19 reappears

, which already points to alarming data in the region.

With the Christmas bill in tow, in recent days

infections

have skyrocketed (3,813 in the last 24 hours, they have tripled in a month), as well as their impact on hospitalization: 75% of

ICU beds

in Madrid hospitals are occupied and 40% are from infected people.

"It is expected after Christmas," say

Health sources, who add that the natural evolution is that in the coming days, at least until January 16, infections continue to increase due to the effect of the holidays, and that as a result from that date hospitalizations begin to increase.

On the

floor

, the situation at the moment seems controlled.

Of the more than 16,600 beds in the Community of Madrid, only

14.8% are occupied with coronavirus patients

.

Health points out that the

Isabel Zendal hospital

is serving as a great outlet so that the rest of the hospitals can carry out their normal activity.

In fact, the Valdebebas pandemic center already has pavilion 2 "almost full" and 1 could open at any time, according to the same sources.

The

cumulative incidence

in the Community of Madrid, according to the latest data provided by the Ministry of Health, is already at 621 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the second worst figure in Spain, only behind Extremadura (1,076 cases).

On January 5, the worst contagion data

since the beginning of the pandemic in the region was registered, with

7,252 cases

, above the peak of the second wave, registered on September 18, which reached 7,225, or that of the first , which occurred on March 26, with 3,510.

Tomorrow, Friday, the regional government will report again on the

epidemiological status

of the Community of Madrid and the number of Basic Health Zones in which it imposes

mobility restrictions will

foreseeably increase in order

to try to control what already seems to point to a third wave.

In fact, this week,

92% of health areas exceed 400 infections

per 100,000 inhabitants, which is the limit set by the regional government to determine restrictions, although it also takes other aspects into account.

For the moment, the sources consulted do not specify if the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso is going to take another step to stop the infections as autonomous communities such as

Galicia are

already beginning to do

, which has limited the number of people who can meet to four.

This Wednesday, the regional government ruled out asking for a home confinement, as Andalusia has claimed, but it remains to be seen if it could further limit activity in commerce and hospitality, because lowering the capacity would "leave them almost without activity", they say.
