Since June 21, there have been 99 coronavirus fatalities, 1,154 people have been hospitalised and 93 of them were admitted to Intensive Care Units.
On Sunday, June 21, the first day without a State of Emergency, the Health Department confirmed 141 Covid-19 infections. In the previous seven days 1,668 had tested positive, so the cumulative incidence, number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, stood at 3.55, which is significantly different a month later.
On Monday, the Health Minister, Salvador Illa confirmed 685 infections, which is 385% more than on June 21 and 8,297 cases were detected in the last week, 397% more than a month earlier and the incidence rate is now 17.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
237 people were hospitalised in the last 7 days, which is 139% more than a month ago, and the number of ICU admissions has increased by 200% in the last week.
The relaxation of measures during de-escalation allowed freedom of movement between Autonomous Communities and after the opening of borders, people from countries outside the European Union were able to visit Spain.
Transmission has increased, younger people are now contracting the virus and 56.2% of them are asymptomatic.
According to the latest report from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, data from May 10-July 15 shows the median age of those infected is 48 years, compared to 60 years between March and May.
The age group with the highest number of infections is now 15 to 29 years old, and almost one in five new cases are in this range, whereas between March and May it was those over 80 years old were the most infected.
