Screening

Spain has just breached 600 as the incidence level climbs constantly. Of course, the age group between 12-29 is the most affected as they tend to be the group who move about the most in the summer and they have not had the chance to be fully vaccinated yet. As of 20th July in Andalusia, anyone born before 1998 can book an appointment to be vaccinated on the ClicSalud+ app.

AstraZeneca vaccine is discontinued in Spain. Spain has decided to no longer receive or distribute the AstraZeneca vaccine to its vaccination centres. There are already enough doses of AstraZeneca to complete the vaccination cycle for those people who have received their first jab of AstraZeneca but the vaccine will no longer be offered to new patients. All excess vaccines will be donated to COVAX.

Ayamonte today, has an incidence level of 488 after a weekend where 32 new cases were declared. Earlier between 16.00 and 19.30 a screening of the population in Ayamonte was carried out so hopefully tomorrow we will see the results published. Huelva province now has an incidence level of 357 over the fourteen-day period, which is a jump of 142 in the last week. However, it is important to note that Huelva has not reported a single death to Covid since the 2nd July, the hospital numbers still are low at 26 and only 4 are in intensive care.

There are currently 712 patients in Andalusian hospitals with Covid of which 149 are in intensive care. Hospital numbers have increased but are still at a sustainable level.
