ARCHIVED - Murcia Covid update October 25: 131 new cases over the weekend
Active cases in the Region of Murcia have increased to 713
A total of 131 new Covid cases were reported over the weekend in the Region of Murcia; 62 on Friday, 43 on Saturday and 16 on Sunday, and though the number of cases has risen slightly, there was only one Covid-related death in Murcia in the past 72 hours.
Although the increase in cases is only small, there is some concern that Covid could be on the rise again in Spain as five cases of the new, more contagious, variant, Delta Plus, have been detected in Madrid.
Cumulative incidence rate
The 14-day cumulative incidence rate has increased slightly to 56 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, up from 55.8 points before the weekend. Meanwhile, the 7-day incidence rate has fallen to 27.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (down from 32).
Active cases
The new cases reported over the weekend mean that the number of active cases in Murcia now stands at 713, an increase of 40 since Friday October 22. The total number of infections in the Region since the beginning of the pandemic is 142,058.
Hospitalisations and Fatalities
Hospital admissions have also risen over the weekend and there are currently 51 Covid patients in the Region’s hospitals, of whom 14 are being treated in the ICU. The fatality reported over the weekend was registered in Saturday’s update (October 23).
Recoveries
There have been 144 recoveries in the Region since the update released on Friday, meaning that there are now 139,596 people who have been given the all-clear from the virus since March 2020.
