Spain newspaper reports that, on Wednesday, 41% of new coronavirus cases were registered in Madrid
– –
Also, the death toll in the last seven days amounted to 122, which elevates the total to 28,813, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Madrid continues to lead in the number of infections detected in the last day, with 1,020, followed by the region of Basque Country with 547 and Aragon with 352, according to the latest official data, the news agency reported EFE.
The situation in the Spanish capital worries regional health authorities, which do not rule out continuing to implement measures to reduce infections, especially in aspects related to the mobility and meetings of people, since it is what most favors the spread of viruses.
“Make no mistake, things are not going well. Every day we have more transmission. The objective with the confinement was to reduce the overload of the services and guarantee a correct treatment “, said today in a press conference the Spanish health spokesman for the coronavirus pandemic, Fernando Simón.
“If we continue to let the transmission continue upwards, we will end up having many hospitalized, admitted to the ICU and many deaths “, remarked the epidemiologist.
Likewise, in the last seven days there were 1,407 hospital admissions, reported the agency Europa Press.
Unlike the first outbreak in Spain, currently the average age of those affected averages 35 years, so that up to now there is no overload in the hospital system, but Simón warned that “as community transmission increases,” the number of hospitalized patients will rise.
