Four deaths and 10 admissions trigger the curve despite the drop in cases

Only 103 infections have been registered in the last 24 hours, but there are 127 hospitalized

November closes with a new black day of the pandemic in the province of Almería, which in the last 24 hours has seen four other patients with coronavirus die and how hospitalized patients rebound again after three consecutive days of decline.

The daily part of the Ministry of Health arrives on Monday with the weekend effect on the positive counter and if yesterday there were 200 diagnosed, today there were only 103, which means that the last of November is situated like the days with least positive of the month in which the 300 daily cases have been greatly noticed and place the province with more than 18,000 PDIA tests (antigens and PCR) positive since March.

But the decrease in infections detected in 24 hours does not correspond to the changes experienced in the section of deceased and hospitalized, since, after the four deaths today, Almería already has 217 deceased patients and the 30 days of this month In this way, they leave a total of 60 deaths, that is, an average of two a day, since on the 1st of the month there were only 157 people from Almeria who died from the covid.

In the same way, if during the last three days it has been possible to celebrate two decreases in hospital pressure, today this trend has ended and the three hospitals in the province have experienced a rebound in admitted patients and right now there are 129 hospitalized, of which 38 are in the ICU. Thus, the changes with respect to the day before leave 10 new patients this Monday in the beds of the Almeria hospitals and two more in an Intensive Care Unit given their severity, although the total of these is reduced by one patient compared to Sunday , when they were 39.

Throughout the autonomous community, the weekend effect has also been noted in the number of positives, since there have been only 770, but not in deaths, which with 26 in the last 24 hours represent 12 more than the day before, when the community registered the second day with fewer deaths reported in November, after only 12 were reported on day 1.

In hospitals, the situation is very similar to that of Sunday: Cádiz (304 hospitalizations, of which 53 in ICU), Córdoba (196 hospitalizations, of which 34 in ICU), Granada (477 hospitalizations, of which 105 in ICU), Huelva (121 hospitalizations, of which 18 in ICU), Jaén (233 hospitalizations, of which 39 in ICU), Malaga (317 hospitalizations, of which 40 in ICU) and Seville (324 hospitalizations, of which 95 in ICU).

A new death and 200 positives tarnish the relief in Almeria hospitals

Hospital pressure drops and eight patients leave the ICU in 24 hours

The decrease that has been registered in hospital beds with respect to the day before means that since yesterday at 09:00 hours there have been nine patients who have left the hospital and end the most difficult moments of the disease, because in the The day before, there were 130 admitted, compared to 121 today, with 47 in an Intensive Care Unit, where at this time there are 39 people from Almeria that the covid has attacked with force.

This decrease in hospital pressure has been clouded by a considerable increase in the positives detected in the province in the last 24 hours, when there have been 200 cases of covid reported among the residents of the 103 municipalities of Almeria, 32 more than on Saturday , when they were 168. Thus, the PDIA tests (antigen test and PCR) with positive results today have broken the downward trend that the province had in recent days, since last Friday there were 180, far from the 300 that have been notified in other days.

We must also regret a new death, the covid patient 213 who loses his life in the province in which it is being the month with the most deaths of the entire pandemic, since it was declared in the month of March and the same day 21 Of that month, the death of an 86-year-old woman from Vera, the first fatality of the covid in Almería, will be reported.

Likewise, 138 coronavirus patients have been recovered, which does not prevent the number of active cases from increasing again, which is currently above 5,500 in the province of Almería and which has the capital as the main point of concentration of virus carriers.

The 15 population groups that will receive the Covid-19 vaccine

The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced this Friday

The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced this Friday at a press conference the 15 population groups that, over three phases that are expected to begin in January and end in summer, will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, according to It is established in the Vaccination Plan against COVID-19, approved on Tuesday by the Council of Ministers.

As announced this week, the first to receive the vaccine will be the residents and health personnel of residences and centers for large dependents once the first doses arrive, from January 2021 to March, and then the rest of health personnel and large non-institutionalized dependents. In total, 2.5 million people will be vaccinated in the first stage of vaccination.

Likewise, and although it has not yet been decided which vaccination phase they will enter, the rest of the groups are: people over 65 years of age, people with risk conditions, people who live or work in closed communities or environments, vulnerable people due to their socioeconomic situation, people with essential jobs, teaching staff, children, adolescents and young people, people who live in areas with major coronavirus outbreaks or high incidence, pregnant or lactating women, and people who are HIV positive.

These groups have been established based on the criteria of risk of mortality, exposure to the disease, socioeconomic impact and transmission of the disease. "As we receive information on the availability of vaccines, the groups will be assigned throughout phase two and three," said Illa, to comment that the second phase will take place from March until the end of May or the beginning of June. and the third throughout the summer.

In this sense, the Minister of Health recalled that the main objective of the vaccination plan is to reduce morbidity, mortality and mortality from the coronavirus in Spain through vaccines, once they are authorized. "The vaccines that are going to receive authorization will enjoy all the safety and efficacy requirements and, if any of them do not have it, they will not be authorized to be administered in the European Union," he stressed.

Spain is going to receive a total of 140 million doses of vaccines, to immunize about 80 million inhabitants. "There will be vaccines to provide all the citizens of Spain and also to exercise our solidarity tasks that we also have very present," the minister assured.

The contracts signed by the European Commission will reach up to 1,400 million doses, some 800 million immunizations, since almost all the vaccines developed so far, such as Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZeneca, consist of two doses. At the moment, Janssen's candidate is the only one that would be administered in a single dose.

Cumulative stats based on data from Almería 360

In an article I wrote the other day I mentioned that I thought that having a national budget in Spain might help local projects.

The article here on the Ideal site confirms that local government has requested funding for 6 projects. Valued at a total of around 22 million euros.

I guess we will have to wait and see what funding gets approved.

Great increase in cases in Almería: concern about passing the barrier of 300 positives again

The province adds one more death

Almería returns to its worst figures and, once again, surpasses the barrier of 300 new cases in the last 24 hours. A setback after the decline in infections at the beginning of the week that gave way to hope, but the reality is that the positives have almost doubled. In addition, the situation in hospitals is getting worse, which is of great concern to health workers and political leaders.

With these hard data, the province also has to mourn a new death.

Well, according to the Andalusian Institute of Statistics and Cartography (IECA), Almería registers a total of 321 positives confirmed by PCR and antigen tests this Thursday. This Wednesday they were 172, 108 on Tuesday and 75 on Monday.

Despite this significant increase, the province remains (as usual) as the second Andalusian territory with fewer cases of coronavirus registered in the last hours.

On this day, the province of Granada leads the increase in infections with 678 followed by Cádiz with 660; Seville with 628; Córdoba with 367; Jaén with 363; Malaga with 356; and Almería with 321. Below the 200 daily positives, only Huelva appears with 176.

Deaths fell in Andalusia, which registered a total of 54 deaths in the last 24 hours, the lowest figure in three days. Seville clearly leads the daily number of deaths from Covid-19 with 16, followed by Cádiz with eleven and Granada with ten. Below the ten are Córdoba with seven, Malaga with six, Jaén with two and Almería and Huelva with one each.

Cumulative stats using data from Almería 360

See the article here on the El País in English site for information about plans for a Spanish central government budget to be approved.

I am not sure, however I think that perhaps the lack of a budget for the whole of the country has delayed various infrastructure projects throughout Spain. Perhaps including the plans for our motorway interchange improvements.

I guess we will have to wait and see what happens on this and the building of a new school in Almerimar..
