The coronavirus rate has risen slightly this Tuesday to 466.51 cases per 100,000 population over the past 14 days. On Friday, it recorded 461.86 infections, although since the launch of the new counting system, data collection twice a week, instead of daily, has evolved in an irregular way, with small ups and downs, albeit below the threshold. 500 cases, at high risk level.
According to the Autonomous Communities, the regions with the highest frequency are Canary and Galicia, with more than 900 cases and Extremadura, with more than 800. Meanwhile, the lowest rates are in Castilla-La Mancha, Madrid, Castile and Leონიn and Andalusia, below Spain. On average. Andalusia, 9771 with new positives; Community of Valencia, with 9,321 infections; And Madrid, with 6,940 infected since Friday, is the three communities where the number of positives is rising the most.
The Ministry of Health on Tuesday announced 56,633 cases reported since Friday. This is a small increase compared to the previous Tuesday, when 54,147 new positives were added. In total, 11,508,309 people have been infected with the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic.
As for age groups, only persons under 11 years of age report less than 400 cases. In the second extreme, the group with the highest incidence of coronavirus is people aged 30 to 39 years, with more than 550 cases per 100,000 population.
The societies recorded a reduction of 174 deaths in the last four days as Aragon refined its data by adjusting the number of deaths by COVID, with a reduction in the total number of deaths. Last Tuesday, 350 were recorded and Friday, 339. With this new epidemiological data messaging model, Health publishes a report every two weeks, one on Tuesday and the other on Friday, although the first group has more than two days and a comparison is needed. Weekly to know the real evolution. Two years ago, 102,218 people died from the coronavirus or the virus since the start of the health crisis.

Spain is taking risks to start treating COVID-19 like any other disease
As of this Monday, Spain has begun to apply one of the most far-reaching changes since the start of the pandemic: from now on there will be no more isolation or tests for mild and asymptomatic corovirus patients. Staying home without seeing anyone will only be a recommendation and diagnosis in these cases will only be possible through a pharmacy test. This decision brings us closer to assuming COVID-19, two years after the onset of the crisis, as another disease and pushes Spanish society towards an almost complete coexistence with the virus.
The story is not new. This is probably the biggest and most dizzying move, but it explores the trajectory that started with the sixth wave. The spread of Omicron infections has forced decisions that already meant less control over transmission under system collapse conditions and, de facto, put an end to the previous model based on restricting the circulation of the virus by restricting social interaction. Now the Ministry of Health and the societies themselves believe that Spain has left behind the “acute phase” of the pandemic, though it has not ignored the risks.
