The Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, stated this morning during her visit to the Son Llàtzer University Hospital that “everything points to the fact that we have already bent the curve of the sixth wave” because all the data point towards a consolidation in the decline, not only in the Cumulative Incidence but also in hospitalizations or ICUs. “Despite the fact that the incidence has risen up to seven times more, hospitalizations are much lower & rdquor;has detailed.
Darias has defended the “very high” vaccination coverage in the country and has once again repeated that ómicron is less virulent even though it is more contagious. In addition, he does not agree with the diagnosis that there is a plateau instead of a drop: “We are moving towards a new vigilance, from the emergency to the objectives”. This means that new measurement systems are being considered to make decisions regarding the pandemic.
Regarding the low rate of childhood vaccination in the Balearic Islands, the minister stated that the data is “conclusive and definitive & rdquor; about the effectiveness of the vaccine because “they save lives & rdquor;, so the main objective is to offer the “maximum accessibility & rdquor; to the citizens.
Likewise, he recalled that the autonomous communities already received in 2021 about 400 million euros from European funds, and that the arrival of these resources will allow the Balearic Islands to have 22 million to replace medical equipment that has become obsolete. In the case of Son Llàtzer, two CT scanners and one magnetic resonance scanner will be purchased.
