In the rest of Galicia the fifth wave is losing strength and starting to go down, but here the pandemic is still out of control and the downward curve for the moment we do not see.
Despite yesterday’s decline, the Pontevedra Salnés health area is back up today very worryingly: in the last 24 hours there have been 210 new positives confirmed by PCR, and although there have been 177 discharges, there are 26 more active cases up to 3,031 total active cases.
The most worrying thing is that the increase in people who have to enter hospitals is increasing. The number of hospitalized patients rises from 39 to 48 people: there are 35 patients in Montecelo, with 29 on the floor and 6 in the Critics Unit; There are 8 patients on the ward at the Hospital Público do Salnés and 5 at the Miguel Domínguez.
Sanxenxo, Meaño, Cambados and O Grove continue to be the councils with the highest incidence.
In the health area Santiago – Barbanza y Deza improves their situation for the first time in this fifth wave, subtracting active cases. In the last 24 hours, 118 new coronavirus infections have been registered and active cases have fallen by 38, passing 2,357.
The recipe to reduce infections is vaccination and above all, many screenings:
In the fairground of FEXDEGA in Vilagarcía there will be screenings in morning and afternoon shifts and will be operational on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
In Pontevedra it will be in the entrance hall of the IES Sánchez Cantón, tomorrow, Saturday, July 31, as well as next Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, in morning and afternoon shifts.
On Monday, August 2, population screenings with antigen tests will be carried out in the IES Monte da Vila pavilion in O Grove.
Also, tomorrow, Saturday, July 31 and next Wednesday, August 4, these screenings will be carried out in morning and afternoon shifts in the pavilion of the Santo Tomé de Cambados institute.
