On the other hand, the incidence rate has skyrocketed today by almost 30 points, reaching 325.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, located at extreme risk, when yesterday Thursday it was below 300. It is still the second highest in the community behind Granada (427.2) and well above the regional average of 241.2. By localities, we can see how the outbreak of Santiago Pontones sets another record and makes this large secure population reach a rate of 3,091.7 with 90 infected in the last two weeks.

The good news comes with hospital pressure drops for the second day consecutive with 106 hospitalized of which 14 are in ICU and 92 in ward. On the other hand, the rate of vaccination has increased notably Since, in just two days, 2,618 people have received the second dose, which means that there are already more than 52,000 people from Jaén immunized, that is, 8.29% of the population.

In total, more than 30 locations with more restricted capacity as of this Friday. In addition, as of Sunday, the Non-essential trade and the hotel industry must close in these locations at eight in the afternoon. In addition, in 10 municipalities these last businesses will not even be able to open because an incidence of 1,000 is exceeded.
