ARCHIVED - 7,960 new cases and 160 deaths across Spain in last 24 hours: May 6 Covid update
Spain’s pandemic continues its decline, according to the latest government figures published on May 6.
The latest figures published by the Spanish health ministry reveal that Spain’s accumulated incidence rate, number of deaths, and hospital admissions have dropped slightly as the number of confirmed new cases continues to fall and the number of vaccines administered rises.
A further 7,960 new cases and 160 deaths were reported across Spain on May 6, an increase in cases from the previous day (May 5), but still lower than the 10,143 new cases confirmed a week earlier.
The figures also represent a drop of seven deaths from the previous 24 hours and a decrease in the county’s 14-day incidence rate.
Spain’s accumulated incidence rate now stands at 202 cases per 100,000 people, down from the 205.2 per 100,000 on the previous day on May 5.
The latest figures bring the total number of cases reported to date in Spain to 3,559,222 and the number of deaths to date to 78,726.
The continued drop in Spain’s cases has also seen the number of people hospitalised with the virus fall. There are now 8,900 people admitted to hospital in Spain, 232 fewer than the day before, and 2,212 patients in intensive care units, 19 fewer than on Wednesday.
The number of intensive care beds occupied by patients with the virus remains high across Spain at 22.1 per cent, but is a drop from the 22.25 per cent reported on the day before.
Madrid remains the region with the highest number of intensive care beds occupied, at 43 per cent, followed by the Basque Country at 38 per cent. Murcia and Extremadure are the two regions with the lowest number of intensive care beds occupied by people with the virus, at 5 per cent.
Yesterday the vaccination campaign achieved another record day, administering more than half a million doses; over 27 per cent of the population now has some immunity having received at least one dose and over five million people are fully vaccinated.
