From tomorrow 51% of all of the population of Spain will be moving into phase one. The virus is still with us and this phase is probably the most critical after 8 weeks being confined. The ability to be able to move freely within the province also brings with it the ability of the virus to spread. It is vitally important that anyone with symptoms however minor stays at home and that we continue to adhere to strict social distancing rules and keep hygienic standards up to what we have achieved so far. Together we have slowed it right down and now we must keep it at bay. Any lapses can bring us back to phase Zero but complying means we move to phase two also. It is literally in your hands, thank you for everything you have done so far making Huelva the province in Andalusia with the least confirmed cases and least deaths
There has been a total of 621 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is 224,390. The number of deaths has now reached 26,621 (+143). The number of people who have recovered is 136,166 (+2,214)

The Minister for Health, Salvador Illa, in a press conference this evening has outlined the terms in which we can go out from Saturday May 2nd. Before he went into the details of what would be allowed, he pointed out that Spain has come a long way from 14th March when the number of confirmed cases was rising 35% per day to the current position which is 0.6%. The minister stated that the State of emergency has worked and that the five countries (America, United Kingdom, France, Italy & Spain) with the most mobility within the population have been the hardest hit by Covid 19. So here are the condions in terms of time tables and age groups that come in effect from Saturday May 2nd:
- 14-69 year olds can go out to do individual sport or for walks as long as they stay within 1km of their home and timetable of 6.00 to 10.00 or 20.00 to 23.00. Anyone with symptoms most remain at home. You can do this once a day and for a period of one hour.
- 70 year olds or people who need carers can go out to do individual sport or for walks as long as they stay within 1km of their home and timetable of 10.00 to 12.00 or 19.00 to 20.00. Anyone with symptoms most remain at home. You can do this once a day and for a period of one hour.
- Children under 14 can go out to do individual sport or for walks as long as they stay within 1km of their home and timetable of 12.00 to 19.00. Anyone with symptoms most remain at home. You can do this once a day and for a period of one hour.
The timetables are for all towns with a population of 5,000 inhabitants or more. The towns or villages below that number can carry out sport of walks anytime between 6am and 11pm.
Minister Salvador Illa, asked everyone to exercise caution and prudence as the virus is still amongst us but he also said “We go into this together and we will come out of this together”.
Tomorrow a full guide will be published and as soon as it is, I will publish the main clarifications.

As the number of confirmed cases in the study as per age group has now exceeded 210,000 , it is time to revisit the graphs and make some observations on how the Covid19 is affecting the different age groups in Spain and how it has eveolved in the last 7 days. Most of the confirmed cases are still over 40, with the 50-59-year-old group continuing to have the highest incidence (4,500 more than the nearest age group). However, it is the over 60’s who have the highest incidence of hospitalisation and the biggest number of intensive care patients coming from the 60-69 age group followed closely by the 70-79 age group. The over 80’s are now making it to hospital but few make it to intensive care and it is the age group with highest number of deaths (6,876) with mortality 20.8%. Over 70’s have registered 86.5% of all deaths so far in Spain and this has remained constant. Over 90's have the worst mortality rate 21.6%. Another interesting fact is that although many more women (117,651) are confirmed with Covid19 compared to men (92,748) many more men pass away 9,588 (men) compared to 6,929 (women).
There has been a total of 1,309 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is 213,435. The number of deaths has now reached 24,543. The number of people who have recovered is 112,050
Meanwhile in Andalusia there are 13,688 confirmed cases of which 5,874 have needed hospitalisation and 721 have needed intensive care. As of 21.00 yesterday there are 704 patients confirmed with Covid-19 in hospital and 166 of those are in intensive care.

The President of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, has outlined the various stages of the de-escalation in Spain. The de-escalation which consists of four stages, with each phase lasting a minimum of two weeks. The plan which Mr Sanchez called “The Plan Towards A New Normality” will be applied gradually and asymmetrically by province or island. The sole objective of this plan is to reactivate Spain while protecting the health and lives of the population.
Stage Zero This stage is the preparation for the de-escalation and some business places will be allowed to open to attend to clients who have reservations or appointments. This phase has already started but officially from May 4th all provinces will enter this stage except for La Gomera, Hierro, La Garciosa and Formentera as these islands will start directly on stage one. Restaurant businesses will be allowed to provide a takeaway service. People will be allowed to move between local towns where there is a low incidence of the outbreak. Use of masks are highly recommended.
Stage One Small shops and businesses will be allowed to open to the public as long as they adhere to strict safety measures. Shopping centres are excluded in this stage. Hotels and touristic apartments will be allowed to reopen but the communal areas must remain closed. Over 65’s will have a special timetable to protect them more. The school year will start in September. Religious sites such as churches will be allowed to open with a maximum of 30% of their capacity. Parts of the fishing industry which have been closed will be allowed to return to work. Use of masks are highly recommended.
Stage Two Hotels and restaurants will be allowed to open to clients so they can dine inside but may not exceed 30% of their capacity. Schools would be allowed to open to allow parents with children under 6 the possibility to return to work and also students can complete exams to access university. Sport fishing and hunting can recommence, and cinemas theatres and auditoriums can reopen but may not exceed 30% of their capacity. Cultural events held inside must have 50 people or less in attendance while open air events will have a limit of 400 people. Use of masks are highly recommended.
Stage Three Restrictions on mobility will be eased. All businesses will be allowed to open with only 50% capacity allowed on the premises. Bars and restaurants will have restrictions eased as long as they adhere to strict safety measures. (The president didn’t give exact capacity percentages here but I expect it will be published later). Use of masks are highly recommended.
These stages of de-escalation will bring us to the end of June and that is considering that all stages are adhered to and we have no new outbreaks. Mr Sanchez said that he expects the de-escalation to last between 6-8 weeks and each province would advance as fast as the conditions allow.
It will be the Health authorities who decide exactly when each province can move to the next stage based on these four principles:
- The capacity of the health system to deal with the situation in that province.
- The epidemiological situation in that province.
- The protective measures in place withing that province
- Mobility and socioeconomic data from that province.
There has been a total of 1,308 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is 210,773. The number of deaths has now reached 23,822. The number of people who have recovered is 102,548

The President of the Andalusian government, Juanma Moreno in a video conference yesterday with the President of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, has declared that Andalusia is ready for the rolling back of the lockdown. The video conference which was the seventh held between all the presidents of the autonomous states and the President of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, is used for each community to put forward their proposals. Juanma Moreno outlined that Andalusia was ready and asked for clarification from the central government about the specific terms needed to start the rolling back of the lockdown. “We have the entire map of incidences from the epidemiological and behavioral point of view that we have had throughout the last few weeks; therefore, we are prepared for any of the actions," he stressed. Regarding the latter, he urges the Government to be "flexible" since the casuistry is enormous between districts and territories. He also stressed coming out of confinement in Andalusia will involve large doses of "responsibility" and with the maximum possible health guarantees.
Juanma Moreno also pointed out that Andalusia would be a prime candidate to be one of the first autonomous states to come out of lockdown due to the facts that
• 275 municipalities of the 786 in Andalusia have had no cases of Covid19
• Roll back could be by province with Huelva and Almeria two provinces which are below the average in Andalusia
• Andalusia has had a reproduction number R below one for the last two weeks.
• Andalusia is the third lowest in number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
• The capacity of the intensive care units is sufficient.

As the Ministry of Health have changed the way they publish data and are now differentiating between confirmed cases via PCR testing and Antibody testing (Rapid Test), I have changed the graph presentation to show the increase of confirmed cases, deaths and recovered patients on a day to day basis. As Andalusia have always published all confirmed cases together, I will continue to do so. Also we will get more detailed information about the number of patients in the hospitals in Andalusia and not just the number that have been hospitalised during this crisis. This new data will help the government make the future decisions on how to roll back the lockdown.
There has been a total of 2,944 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is 205,905, and there are 17,854 which have tested positive for having the antibodies for the virus. The number of deaths has now reached 22,902. The number of people who have recovered is 95,708
Meanwhile in Andalusia there are 12,824 confirmed cases of which 5,715 have needed hospitalisation and 717 have needed intensive care. As of 21.00 yesterday there are 860 patients confirmed with Covid-19 in hospital and 206 of those are in intensive care.

The stellar job the healthcare workers comes at a price and in Spain of the 219,764 confirmed cases 34,355 are frontline healthcare workers. In Andalusia of the 12,495 confirmed cases 2,556 are healthcare workers. Numbers can be very cold but behind every one of these numbers is a doctor, nurse, hospital porter, ambulance driver, hospital chef, hospital cleaner, security guard or an administration worker and then there is their families which they come home to after each shift. I want to thank each and everyone of you for the work that you continue to do. To the healthcare workers and their families in Almeria (81), Huelva (90), Cadiz (222), Cordoba (239), Jaen (260), Granada (529), Seville (529) and Malaga (606) I thank you for your service and dedication.

As the number of confirmed cases in the study as per age group has now exceeded 150,000 , I felt it was time to look at the graphs and make some observations on how the Covid19 is affecting the different age groups in Spain. Most of the confirmed cases are over 40, with the 50-59-year-old group having the highest incidence. However, it is the over 60’s who have the highest incidence of hospitalisation and the biggest number of intensive care patients coming from the 60-69 age group followed closely by the 70-79 age group. It is clear that over 80’s are not making it to hospital and have the highest number of deaths with mortality 24-25%. Over 70’s have registered 86.5% of all deaths so far in Spain. This is not to say younger people are safe because they can also get severe cases but our over 70’s are the most vulnerable and that’s why we have to stay at home to save them.
There has been a total of 4,635 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is now at 213,024. The number of deaths has now reached 22,157. The number of people who have recovered is 89,250.
Meanwhile in Andalusia there are 12,237 confirmed cases of which 5,616 have needed hospitalisation and 702 have needed intensive care. As of 21.00 yesterday there are 1,019 patients confirmed with Covid-19 in hospital and 235 of those are in intensive care. There have been 1,079 deaths (Malaga 237, Jaen 147, Granada 219, Cordoba 83, Cadiz 88, Seville 226, Almeria 44, Huelva 35). In Seville there are 2,463 cases and 1,065 of those required hospitalization with 140 in intensive care. There have been 226 deaths while 548 have recovered.
In Andalusia there have been a total of 1,079 deaths so far. A total 3,847 patients have recovered.
In Huelva there are 396 cases, this being an increase of 5 new cases today, 214 have been hospitalized with 29 in intensive care. No new deaths were reported today so the total stays at 35. The good news is 136 have now recovered from the virus.

Common sense has prevailed and children under 14 years of age will be allowed to go for walks with their parents or guardians from this coming Monday 27th April. The government rectified the previous ruling after public uproar. During today’s press conference Dr Fernando Simon said “It would make no sense that supermarkets become overcrowded” referring to children being brought by their parents to the shops. Dr Simon also went on to clarify that family members going for walks together would not be a major problem of the spread of Covid19 as long as social distancing rules are respected “A family which have been living together during this lockdown period have the same risk of transmission in their home as in a place where they are alone".
There has been a total of 4,211 new cases declared today and the total confirmed cases is now at 208,389. The number of deaths has now reached 21,717. The number of people who have recovered is 85,915.
Meanwhile in Andalusia there are 11,921 confirmed cases of which 5,565 have needed hospitalisation and 696 have needed intensive care.
