Spain’s Ministry of Health reports 321 Covid deaths in three days

The national cumulative incidence rate in those over 60 years of age (the only group in which it is currently measured) is 856.56, some 13 more than Tuesday.

Three regions (Murcia, Ceuta and La Rioja) are classed at high risk, with more than 1,500 infections per 100,000 population, and another seven (Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Galicia and the Basque Country) exceed 1,000.

And yet, the constant increases in incidence rate continue without having an impact on hospital pressure. In Spain, 7,200 patients (7,291 on Tuesday) are hospitalised with the coronavirus, of which 366 (356) are in intensive care. Covid patients represent 5.80% of total number of ward beds (5.89% on Tuesday) and 4.07% in ICUs (3.96%).
