ARCHIVED - The second highest ICU pressure in Spain: Andalusia Covid update January 21
Patients admitted to hospital with Covid rise by 25 as the disease refuses to release its grip on ICUs
14-day incidence rate in Andalucía since March 2020
In the last 24 hours, there were 7,625 new cases of coronavirus reported in Andalucía and 28 more fatalities, but the real indicator of how bad things are is the hospital pressure in the region, which is the second worst in all of Spain.
New infections
In the last 24 hours, there were 7,625 positive cases of coronavirus in Andalucía, about 10,000 fewer than yesterday when there was an unprecedented spike in infections.
The 7,625 cases this Friday follow 17,548 on Thursday, 7,416 on Wednesday, 9,703 on Tuesday, 16,498 infections on Sunday and Monday, 10,886 on Saturday, and 14,002 last Friday.
Cumulative incidence rate
The cumulative incidence rate has risen slightly to 1,419 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, but this is still half the national average.
Hospitalisations
Andalusian hospitals are now treating 2,168 patients for coronavirus, 25 more than the previous day. Of these, 238 are in the ICU, maintaining the same pressure as 24 hours ago.
Andalucía is the autonomous community in Spain with the second highest ICU pressure – ten points below the average – and the fourth worst hospital pressure overall.
Deaths
Since yesterday, 28 more deaths have been reported, bringing the total number of deaths since the start of the pandemic to 11,823.
Vaccinations
There has been a rise of 0.1% of the Andalusian population who have had both their first and second vaccines since yesterday, with 82.9% of people over 5 years of age – 7,017,221 people – fully vaccinated and 88.3% – 7,476,359 people – having received their first shot.
