Most of the territories that have offered epidemiological data this Saturday register decreases in their main indicators, although the risk of transmission in Spain still high due to the accumulated incidence (exceeds 2,000 points) and the high number of cases, with more than 70,000 each day, a few days before the regulation of the use of the masks outdoors.
Catalonia, Navarra, Cantabria, Andalusia, Murcia, Aragón or Ceuta have reported an improvement in their transmission indicators and others such as Galicia, a community with the lowest occupancy in intensive care units (4.6%), reports a slight increase in infections, although it maintains its downward trend in incidence.
La Rioja has reported an increase in cases active up to 2,418 (193 more than the previous day), so that since January 22 the community did not have such a high number of covid cases (2,557), while its 14-day incidence is around 2,000 cases.
According to the Health data offered until yesterday, in the last week the accumulated incidence has fallen by 580 points, to 2,299 cases, but more than 74,000 new covid infections have been reported again.
Thus, the transmission curve of the sixth wave continues its decline and gradually eases hospital occupation, a situation that is again supported by the data that the communities have offered this Saturday.
According to data from the Ministry of Healthpressure in intensive care units has dropped this week from 22.2% to 19.9%while on the ground it has lightened from 15% to 13%, although at least a dozen territories continue with both indicators above the very high risk threshold.
