Spain enters November with the incidence of covid on the rise and approaching the border of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days, which was set as the limit that separates low risk from medium risk.
But this limit was set at a time when only a small part of the population had immunity and the coronavirus was saturating hospitals and ucis. Spain is now in another phase of the epidemic, with 79% of the population vaccinated with the full schedule, and at a time when there are very few serious cases that require hospitalization.

The incidence will foreseeably continue to increase in the coming days and weeks. But it is not the most informative indicator in the current phase of the epidemic, since a large increase in mild cases is not particularly worrisome. From now on, more attention will have to be paid to other indicators such as the evolution of severe cases and hospitalizations. For now, even if the incidence is above 50, the situation in hospitals does not invite alarm.
