Almería continues to lead the Andalusian provinces with the most cases of covid

With 50 new infected, it is only surpassed by Malaga, which this Saturday adds 82

Despite the fact that the experts have concluded the fifth wave of the coronavirus in Andalusia more than a week ago, the daily reality maintains the concern in the province of Almería, which day after day appears on the podium of the most infected in 24 hours.

This has happened again this Saturday, when the epidemiological part of the Ministry of Health and Families of the Junta de Andalucía has notified that there are 50 new positives for covid in Almería, only surpassed by the 82 that have been detected among the people of Malaga. With the fifty positives that are added today to the province's cash, since the beginning of the pandemic there are already 70,663 people from Almeria who have passed the infection or are still infected, which represents almost 10% of the total population (the 9.7% of the 727,945 inhabitants).

The negative data, although lower than in previous weeks, is also transferred to hospitals in the province, since Torrecárdenas, Poniente or La Inmaculada currently add up to a total of 21 Almeria hospitalized for covid, of which more than half ( 11), are in more serious condition in an intensive care bed. With these figures, Almería repeats among the three with the highest hospital burden, only surpassed by Malaga, with 70, of which 13 are in the ICU, and Seville, with 44 and 10, respectively.

Thus, Almería is the one with the highest proportion of ICU patients with respect to total admissions, since more than 50% of those hospitalized in the province are in Intensive Care, a figure much higher than those of the rest of the provinces, since in addition of the aforementioned Malaga and Seville, in the rest the still photo is like this: Cádiz (11 hospitalizations, of which 2 in ICU), Córdoba (16 hospitalizations, of which 5 in ICU), Granada (18 hospitalizations, of which 3 in ICU), Huelva (16 hospitalizations, of which 5 in ICU), Jaén (8 hospitalizations and none in ICU).

In the positive data section, it should be noted that Almería remains at 925 deaths from coronavirus, which is the third consecutive day without deaths from the disease. Likewise, if the recovered are treated, there are 68 notified today by Health, which leaves a total of 69,070 Almeria with the epidemiological discharge, which, in turn, means that right now the active cases (people who are infected) are 668.

Prior to the pandemic there used to lots of informal social activities taking place in Almerimar.

Covid continues to decline but takes on a new life in Almería

Another 29 people are infected in the last 24 hours, in which 65 have recovered

The cases of coronavirus have remained this Thursday in the same line of days ago, with 29 new positives in 24 hours, although Almería has received another tragic news, the death of another person by covid-19, which brings the victims to 925 fatalities from the pandemic in the province.

Faced with these 29 new positives, in the last day 65 people have overcome the infection, with which currently the active cases of covid in the province are 699, taking into account that the total of positives since March 2020 is 70,565 , and the total number of cured amounts to 68,941.

Meanwhile, the situation in hospitals also remains stable, so that in the last day only one person was admitted to the ward for covid-19 and another in an intensive care unit throughout the province.

The evolution of the pandemic, therefore, maintains the descending line of the last week, as highlighted this Thursday by the provincial delegate of Health, Juan de la Cruz Belmonte, who trusts that, if the same line is maintained, the entire province can soon to go down to the zero level of health alert for the coronavirus, in which right now there is only the Poniente Health District.

At present, only the districts of Almería and Levante remain at alert level 1 in all of Andalusia. "We hope that the positive evolution will continue and next week or the next we can reach the zero level of health alert throughout the province," said Belmonte.

And he explained that "the restrictions on capacity and distances are maintained in the Almería District and the North Sanitary Management Area, while in the Poniente District the limitations on capacity are eliminated."

According to data from the Institute of Statistics and Cartography, in Andalusia 179 positives have been confirmed in the last day. Malaga is the province with the most cases, with 44, followed by Almería and Cádiz with 29; Seville with 23, Huelva with 22, Córdoba and Granada with 12 and Jaén with 9. On the day there have been eight deaths from covid-19, two in Granada and Seville and one in Cádiz, Almería, Córdoba and Málaga.

Almeria Province now has 58.2 cases (approximately 7 fewer than the last value) per 100,000 inhabitants based on the 14 day average (red for increase; blue for decrease)

I like having Mercadona as our local supermarket.

One interesting thing that I read somewhere is that there may be a new Lidl going to be built in the lakes area of Almerimar. I seem to remember the article said this would be considered once the new Lidl has been built in the east of the El Ejido area. I believe this Lidl, not far from the 511 exit off the motorway is now open.
