ARCHIVED - Ups and downs but going in the right direction: Andalusia Covid update October 15
The incidence rate is up slightly from yesterday but down from this time last week
A mixed bag for Andalucía this week as the cumulative incidence rate of coronavirus in the region yesterday rose slightly to 28.99 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while at the same time there was a decrease in the number of hospitalisations to 205 people and seven new deaths.
The number of people hospitalised fell by five on Friday after rising by five on Thursday and falling over the rest of the week by three on Wednesday, seven on Tuesday, nine on Monday, seven on Saturday and 19 last Friday, when there were 231 hospitalised.
New infections
There have been 1,097 positive cases recorded in the last 7 days, around 300 fewer than the previous 7-day period. This takes the total number of people who have been infected with coronavirus in Andalucía to 805,158.
Cumulative incidence rate
The 14-day cumulative incidence is at around 29 per 100,000 people, back up from yesterday but a drop of 3 whole points from Monday.
Hospitalisations
76 more people were admitted to hospital with Covid-19 in the last week and 5 of them went to the ICU, showing a steady improvement from last week.
Deaths
12 people have died of coronavirus since this time last week, taking the total death toll for the region since the pandemic began to 11,207.
Vaccinations
A grand total of 12,885,925 vaccines have been administered in Andalucía, meaning that 6,713,768 people are now double jabbed. That’s 79.3% of the region’s adult population, or 90% if you count over-12s.
The vaccination rate in Andalucía now stands at 90.3%, though there are still 590,000 Andalusians who have refused to get the vaccine. The Regional Minister for Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, called on them to get vaccinated this week, “if not for themselves, then for others”.
