ARCHIVED - Andalucía incidence rate drops out of extreme risk zone: Covid update August 30
Nine Covid-related deaths across Andalucía; in Málaga, Sevilla, Córdoba and Cádiz
The region of Andalucía finally drops out of the extreme risk zone, after weeks of slowly decreasing Covid data, as the 14-day cumulative incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants drops to 237.81 (August 30); the lowest figure since July 8.
And, as the pandemic continues to evolve favourably in the region, the number of daily cases has also dropped to 1,359 (data for the past 48 hours), a figure which is over a thousand cases lower than last Monday’s figure of 2,377 (August 23).
Sevilla continues to have the highest number of cases, with 469, but Covid data has dropped considerably across the provinces, with all eight reporting fewer than 500 new cases.
Fatalities: Monday’s update reported single-digit Covid deaths, with nine people losing their lives in the past 48 hours; four in Málaga, two in Sevilla, two in Córdoba and one in Cádiz.
Hospitalisations: there are 64 fewer Covid patients in the region’s hospitals: 977 and 206 in intensive care. This is the first time the number of patients has dropped below 1,000 this month.
Vaccines: the vaccine campaign in Andalucía continues to speed ahead with 80 per cent of over 12s in the region fully vaccinated. The most recent data indicates that 5,962,410 residents are now immunized while 6,554,371 people have had at least one jab (87.9 per cent of the target population).
Incidence rate: the cumulative incidence rate in Andalucía has decreased to 237.81 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the past 14 days, dropping out of the extreme risk zone (under 250) and joining the Region of Murcia in the high-risk zone (between 150 and 250).
