Madrid.- Spain on Saturday surpassed the 25,000 killed by coronavirus, reaching 25,100 deaths, after another 276 on Saturday, according to the count released today by the Ministry of Sanidad.Se it is the third consecutive day in which the deaths from the pandemic are less than 300 daily.
New daily cases confirmed by PCR tests fell to 1,147, with a total of 216,582 infected. In addition, there are 2,572 new healers, which means that 117,248 people overcame the disease in the country. The number of healthcare professionals infected is 41,785 (546 more than a day earlier) and account for 19.2% of the total confirmed cases. The daily rate of new contagion continued to drop slightly to 0.5 per cent, with the worst moments of the virus spread reaching 35 per cent.
These figures show a “clear, favorable downward line, which we are seeing in previous days”, the spokesman of the Ministry of Health for the pandemic, the epidemiologist Fernando Simón, found in the press conference.This reduced level of contagion from the last two weeks led to a return to walk or play sport individually and with limitations, something that millions of Spaniards did after seven weeks of very strict confinement. The Government established a series of time slots for age-based population groups (children, adults and the elderly and chronically ill) to avoid large concentrations of people and protect the most vulnerable.
Still, Simon insisted that there is a “risk of uptick” of the disease “if infection prevention measures are not taken.” He explained that in recent days there is a level of 57 infections per 100,000 inhabitants, while in the worst moments there were 233 per 100,000 inhabitants.
