The coronavirus overflows in Almería: 655 positives in one day and 3 deaths

Maribel Sánchez, delegate of the Board: "We have more viruses than ever in our streets"

Only two days after registering the historical maximum of coronavirus positives since the beginning of the pandemic -359 cases notified last Saturday, January 9-, the province of Almería has surpassed that sad mark. And it has more than done so: this Monday, according to the Andalusian Institute of Cartography and Statistics (IECA), there are 655 positives notified through PDIA (antigen test and PCR).

A day, in which the new restrictions of the Board come into force - and that may not be the last - that also leaves 3 more deaths, 11 hospitalizations and only 61 people have received epidemiological discharge.

After these data, as of Monday, January 11, the cases of coronavirus that are still active in the Almeria geography soar to 4,880: the difference between the 24,270 confirmed cases and the sum of deaths (310 to date) and recovered (19,080 ). Last Friday, January 8, there were 3,809 active cases, and it reached 2,691 on December 30.

Before the publication of the data, Maribel Sánchez, Government delegate of the Board, has advanced the figure. He has done so in statements to journalists after a meeting in the delegation of Health and Families with the delegate of Health, Juan de la Cruz Belmonte, the secretary general of the Delegation of Health, Pedro López, and the head of Public Health, Antonio Garrido, among other managers and heads of the Delegation Service.

"We have more viruses than ever in the streets of our province. We can only help stop the virus, help our health professionals, being more responsible than ever," said Sánchez, who has appealed to the "individual responsibility" of Almeria to face what, he says, will be "the worst wave since March 12".

"This Christmas many people have done well but other behaviors have left much to be desired. We have to show that we are going to measure up, because we are going to suffer the worst wave of all. Many lives are at stake, let's not screw up, Let's not spoil it anymore, "he stressed.

In Andalucia

In the rest of the community, the situation is not much more encouraging: the week begins with 4,896 cases of coronavirus, the highest number since November 7, when 4,993 were added.

By provinces, Malaga leads the infections with 1,035, followed by Cádiz with 952 and Seville with 698. Almería is the fourth province with the most cases, the aforementioned 655, followed by Granada with 647, Córdoba with 433, Jaén with 318 and Huelva with 158 .

Cumulative stats from the Almería 360 site

For the first time in 2021 Jacqui and I were up early this morning to play in an official golf competition.

The last week or so has been very cold here. With quite a lot of rain. Then at around 08:30 this morning there was quite a lot of rain again. Even though there was none expected based on the couple of forecasts I looked at.

The organisers decided to delay the start of the competition from 09:00 to 09:30. As they said it should clear by then.

The photo above was taken at about 09:10. As we were just arriving at the course to prepare for the start of the competition.

As you can see, the Sierra Gador hills behind El Ejido were covered in snow.

Andalusia will tighten the restrictions against the covid from January 10

Aguirre says they will be a little more restrictive given the latest parameters of the pandemic

Andalusia is clear that it will be necessary to tighten the measures once Christmas passes. The Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, has indicated that, "taking into account the latest parameters" that are coming to them, the measures to stop the expansion of the coronavirus as of January 10 will be "a little more restrictive than those that they are currently in force "in Andalusia.

Thus, in an interview on Cadena Ser, collected by Europa Press, Aguirre recalled that this afternoon there is a meeting of the technical teams and "possibly on the 8th there will be a meeting of the High Impact Committee on Public Health, where the experts will make proposals according to the evolution until that day, and at that moment we will have to take the appropriate measures, since the decree of the president and the orders of this Ministry decline on the 10th, and before that day we will have to take more or less restrictive measures according to the evolution ".

"Possibly and taking into account the latest parameters that are coming to us, they are a little more restrictive than those currently in force," said Aguirre, who also stressed that "we are at a good cruising speed on the subject of vaccination, since we have not rested during the holidays. "

The idea, he added, "is to have one hundred percent of the residences for the elderly vaccinated in the first round by January 14, and prepare for the second round in 21 days, which I estimate will begin by the end of January." "We are going at a good speed because there is no rest; it is the most powerful weapon we have to fight the virus and although many vaccines arrive, we will have the ability to put them without any problem," he stressed.

Asked if he trusts that the contagion level will soon be reduced, the Health Minister stated that "you have to be very careful, it is not worth saying I have been vaccinated and I am already lowering my hands from a preventive point of view," while has assured that "he would like to reach a group vaccination of 60 or 70% as soon as possible", although he added that "seeing the cadence of vaccines that they are sending us, at least until the end of spring or the beginning of summer we will not have a medium tranquility regarding the spread of the virus ".

Regarding the new British strain of the virus and the new cases detected in Andalusia, Aguirre has shown his "concern", firstly because "it is much more contagious, with 70% more contagiousness, which means that its expansion can be much faster ", while adding that" we still have to evaluate virulence, because it can be more contagious and with less virulence, and then it would have less significance from a clinical point of view, and we will have to be clear about whether the vaccine is effective for new strain, for which we need scientific evidence. "

"All this is under study but what is a reality is that the strain is spreading and we currently have seven confirmed cases, nine under study that will possibly be confirmed throughout the day, and we have areas in which the influence can be more important as is the area of ​​Malaga or Cádiz, "he pointed out, while adding that" we try to stop the expansion of this strain, and the fact that in Campo de Gibraltar a perimeter closure of areas and municipalities is to avoid stopping or slowing down the diffusion ". "Logically we are concerned because with that contagiousness that it has over time it will become the predominant strain".

"We don't have high frequency"

On the other hand, the counselor has assured that "there is not much saturation", to underline that hospital emergencies and primary care "fell by 30% in November". In addition, he has stated that in the first fortnight of December "hospital emergencies fell by 40%, and in the second fortnight, emergencies at the hospital and health center level by 50%." "We have a lot of work, but we don't have high frequentation, which has allowed professionals to enjoy their well-deserved vacations."

Stats for the last 24 hours - 276 new cases and no more deaths
