Covid incidence continues to fall but ICU admissions are increasing

by

The fourteen-day incidence of covid in Cantabria continues with its slow but steady decline, and this Saturday is already 180 cases per one hundred thousand inhabitants. These are two points less than yesterday and it confirms a downward trend observed for almost a month and that the worst of the third wave of the pandemic is close to being overcome in the region.

It is the most positive side of the data released today, although there is a parameter, fundamental to lower the alert level, that does not improve. It is the admissions to the ICU. Today there are three more serious patients with coronavirus than yesterday who require intensive care and there are already 26. Occupancy in the ICU rises 22.2% in a single day, a percentage that has to fall considerably for us to reach level 2 alert. At the moment we are still in level 3 (high risk), and it will not drop to 2 until 150 cases are reached in the fourteen-day incidence and the pressure in the ICUs falls below 15%.

In the data provided this Saturday by Health, corresponding to the records until last midnight, there is no no new deceased. Yesterday ten victims were registered, but they corresponded to unreported out-of-hospital deaths that occurred weeks before.

The number of infections has hardly changed in the last day: they have been 75 new cases those detected yesterday (one more than the day before). As for coronavirus patients who require hospitalization, today there are five fewer people (119, 26 of them in ICU) and hospital occupancy drops to 7.9%, which is why hospitals have begun their particular de-escalation, releasing spaces that were dedicated to covid patients. A decline that, however, has not been translated into intensive care units, in which the number of admissions has risen.

If the incidence to fourteen has dropped two points, that of cases to seven days has dropped by one and now it is 82 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants (yesterday it was 83). And at the same time, there is another parameter that continues to decrease, and that is the test positivity of virus detection that is being carried out: with the data for this Saturday it is 4.7%, three tenths less than yesterday.

The distribution by hospitals is 84 patients in the Valdecilla de Santander Hospital, 30 in the Sierrallana de Torrelavega and 5 in Laredo.

With the data updated at the end of Friday, at the moment there are in the autonomous community 2,578 active cases of coronavirus (104 less than Thursday, more than a thousand less in the last week), of which 2,459 are in home quarantine.

In this way, since the beginning of the pandemic, the accumulated positives reach 25,478, of which 24,219 have been detected by PCR tests and 1,259 through antibody detection tests. The tests carried out total 454,436, which represents 78,177 per 100,000 inhabitants.

For their part, the cured reached 22,388 in total, which is 88 percent, and the death toll remains at 512.
