The cases of covid-19 rise again this Saturday and, although the vaccination advances, Galicia has announced that he will “probably” have to review the restriction measures on Tuesday against contagions, while Asturias will do a population screening between the ages of 15 and 30.
In the last 24 hours, more than 5,000 cases have been registered in Catalonia; Andalusia has exceeded 1,900; 1,692 in Valencia; 320 in Asturias; 309 in the Canary Islands; 240 in Cantabria or 142 in Galicia.
Given the rebound in cases, especially among the youngest, Galicia has advanced that the medical committee that advises the Xunta on pandemic management will “probably” have to review anti-covid measures, according to the Minister of Health, Julio García Comesaña.
The epidemiological situation is now “different” with “significant increases” in cases among young people, so it will be necessary to analyze and “propose measures adapted to this new situation,” he said.
Asturias, for its part, will do a population screening of young people between 15 and 30 years old, given the “explosive increase” of cases in the last week since, three out of every four new infections, occurs in that age group.
The Principality Health Service (Sespa) has appealed to the more than 115,000 Asturians born between 1991 and 2006, so that those who have attended events or have the perception of having been at risk of contagion in recent days, be done testing voluntarily.
In recent days the number of new positives has not stopped growing, until reaching 320 this Friday, of which three out of four are under 30 years old.
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, applauded the smooth running of the vaccination process, although it has warned that the new outbreaks indicate that the virus is still there and, therefore, we must continue to be “prudent and careful”, has said during his participation in the federal committee of the PSOE.
Regarding the data, all the indicators have soared in Catalonia, where in the last 24 hours 5,700 positives have been diagnosed and the risk of regrowth grows to 438 points (on Friday it was 282) a level that had not been seen since the end of January.
For the third consecutive day, the number of infections exceeds 5,000 and the epidemic continues to grow, especially, among unvaccinated youth, after the relaxation of restrictions and the expansion of the delta variant, which will be predominant next week, according to estimates by the Department of Health.
