Despite the fact that the coronavirus seems to continue to roam freely in the province of Almería, with 37 cases detected in the last day -more than 31% of the total in Andalusia, where 118 infections were confirmed-, this Thursday good news has also arrived that can mean a change in the trend of the provincial health panorama.
The first of these is that the Ministry of Health and Families has considered as controlled and overcome, respectively, what until now have been the two main sources of spread of the disease in the Poniente Sanitary District, the outbreaks declared in El Ejido and in Berja.
The first, linked to an ejido company in the agricultural sector, has ended with 102 positives, which has become, until now, the second outbreak with the most affected in all of Andalusia, after the one related to a disco in Córdoba. However, as the delegate of the Andalusian Government in Almería, Maribel Sánchez, has pointed out, not all the infected have been workers, but also relatives and people from their environment.
Collaboration Sánchez has thanked the collaboration of this company, which has allowed from the beginning, and thanks also to the actions taken by Health with the identification of the first three cases, “a rapid diagnosis and the reinstatement of 90% of the employees who have carried out quarantines. ” With this, the company already operates normally.
The fact that this outbreak has been declared in the control phase means that the contact study has already been completed and all the necessary tests established by the protocols have been carried out.
Better news has even come from the Berja outbreak, where 31 other people, these yes all workers of an agricultural company on the outskirts of the municipality, tested positive. However, this focus is already considered to have been overcome by the health authorities, which means that it is no longer active.

In total, the nine outbreaks that remain active in the province have 198 people infected by the coronavirus.
98 healed The other good news of the day was the ‘massive’ recovery of 98 people in just 24 hours, the highest number of healed in a single day in the province. This is also a sign that many of the new infections, detected among young people and in most cases asymptomatic, overcome the disease quickly and without major complications. And it also explains the low percentage of hospitalized in relation to positives (17 at present) and of those admitted to intensive care units (four), despite the fact that Almería is now the province of Andalusia with the most people admitted.
