Date Published: 30/07/2020
ARCHIVED - Spanish Covid cases continue to rise; 1,229 new cases diagnosed on Thursday
The total figure rose by 2,789 to reach 285,430
Although the Spanish Health Ministry formally notified the “number of new cases diagnosed within the last 24 hours as being 1,229” the total number of cases diagnosed to date rose by 2,789 in 24 hours as data was verified and entered into the national system, confirming that figures are well and truly on the way up once again across Spain.
The last time the number of new cases was this high was during the height of the lockdown before Spain had even begun the de-escalation process on 30th April.
There are now 483 “outbreaks” active across Spain and although 75% of these are ten cases or less, the major outbreaks continue to spread and are gradually moving into new areas.
The number of new cases reported in Aragón and Cataluña are starting to ease off a little; although Aragón continues to register the highest number of new cases with 352 this is lower than Wednesday when 424 were notified; in Cataluña 121 new cases were notified today, again, lower than Wednesday when the figure was 211.
Madrid, the Basque Country and Valencia are all starting to show an acceleration in the number of cases reported; the number of outbreaks in Madrid have grown in the last few days and today Madrid notified 225 new cases; the Basque Country reported 145 and the Valencia region 105, a significant increase compared to the 37 cases a day earlier.
Fernando Simón made a point today of highlighting the continued descent in the average age of the new Covid cases detected, which continues to fall. At the height of the first wave the average age of patients was 62 for men and 61 for women. Last month this fell to 45 and 41, but today Simón indicated that the average had fallen even further during the last few weeks and was now falling almost to 30 as the number of young people reporting cases continues to rise. He issued a warning that “there are young people in intensive care units” trying to ram the message home that young people are contributing significantly to the spread of the virus, and although their attitude is more relaxed towards contagion, believing that because most cases are asymptomatic in younger people that it is somehow “less serious” ; this is not the case and the virus can, and does, kill younger people.
Temporary agricultural workers, family gatherings and nocturnal leisure, are, Simón said, the prinicipal sources of transmission in Spain at the moment.
