Paying you annual car tax with El Ejido council

I know of a couple of people who have been having difficulty paying their annual car tax for their Spanish registered car.

The amount to be paid is 62.45 euros. It is due to be paid in April/May 2020 to the local council.

You can pay by online bank transfer. You just need to put your NIE number and Circulación in the reason for the payment.

I have got the bank details you need to use. Plus a contact email address and phone number for the payments section of the council office in Almerimar.

I have a policy of not publishing such information publicly on the site. If you would like the information please get in touch using the contact form on the site.

Data Sunday May 24

The death toll moves in the already conquered band, although it rises with respect to previous days. Today there are 70 deceased, by 48 yesterday. The multiplication rate is reduced to 1.009.

The number of daily cases drops to 246, already in the range that we hoped to reach yesterday yesterday. However, the double counting of Madrid and Catalonia make it question more and more that the situation is as controlled as it seemed in these two communities with the data that the Ministry of Health published until two days ago.

The Ministry gave as new cases in Madrid those that Madrid indicated as cases of activation or ultimate registration, but those that for different reasons did not correspond to that criterion were added to the total but not in the list of cases for the day. If it was an adjustment operation, it could be avoided. But if it is a systematic practice, it is a system of underestimation of reality, because the cases that Madrid really has every day are never given visibility.

The problem would be less if the difference between the two figures were not very relevant. But the publication of the two figures by Health for two days reveals that the discrepancies are enormous. In the last two days Madrid has declared 94 new cases, but the sum of the cases reported by Madrid in these two days is 446. It seems that something similar happens in Catalonia, and Health cannot yet validate the data.

It is such a large discrepancy that on the one hand it suggests that Madrid does not have the epidemic as controlled as it showed. And secondly, due to the importance of Madrid in the surrounding communities, it raises doubts about the control and end of the epidemic at the national level.

The latest old photo item is number 28. With the original picture coming from Patti Courtliff.

Data Saturday May 23

The area of ​​cases and deaths of the last days is maintained. The descent to the next level has not yet taken place. It will probably arrive in the next few days: a number of cases between 150 and 250 daily.

48 deceased today, a minimum figure since the start of the decline in early April. The figure from two days ago is not comparable because the data for Catalonia were missing. It is already a consecutive week with figures below one hundred. Everything indicates that we will not return to that number. The multiplication rate remains at 1.010.

Today I make a stop in the trend in new hospital admissions. It's been almost a month since this important series was recovered. Like the rest of the series, there are constant problems of inconsistencies between the variation of total data and the numbers of daily hospitalizations. But at least in broad lines, the numbers can be reliable.

They are figures of new hospitalizations in the last 7 days. There are 1,246 in the last week. They are really very high figures, especially when compared to the number of new cases. This is due to the existence of tens of thousands of cases still active. Earnings have been cut in half compared to the previous week, and are 3.5 times less than two weeks ago.



Regarding ICU admissions in the last seven days, it amounts to 147. It decreases compared to 209 in the previous week.

361 new cases reported. It is appreciated that for the first time in the CCAES Daily Update the cases of the anomaly in the way of reporting in Madrid and Catalonia are indicated. Thus, it indicates that Madrid reports 68 newly diagnosed cases and 185 in total. Catalonia, 92 and 151. If the total data is shown as it is done today, it is to be expected that these communities will gradually use this own accounting system (although it continues to surprise that the Ministry of Health is still unable to impose a single criterion. I am surprised.

Today's case number, 361, perfectly maintains the trend of relative case control, with 7 consecutive days below 500. The rate remains at 1.007.
