After three days of truce, which seemed to herald the peak of the sixth wave of covid in Spain, the week closed with a rise of 139 points in the accumulated incidence, although hospital and ICU pressure shows a drop

The incidence of covid in Spain rises again strongly
The penultimate week of January closes in Spain with a new rise in the accumulated incidence of the coronavirus in Spain, which, however, fell during the last three days.
If we thought that the sixth wave had reached its peak, today’s data does not at all show that this is the case.
The data
Cumulative incidence
The cumulative incidence at 14 days, number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, rises 139 points in a single day, a figure that alone exceeds the drops on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The incidence jumps to 3,418.46, while last Friday, January 14, it was at 3,192.46.
By region, the autonomous city of Ceuta is in the lead (6,366), followed by the communities of Aragón (5,730), Navarra (5,528) and Murcia (5,372).
Below 2,000 is only Andalusia (1,393). The rest of the communities estimate between 2,000 and 5,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, with notable differences.
By age groups, those under 11 years of age are in the lead (4,599) and people between 70 and 79 years of age have the lowest figure (1,578).
infections
Today the number of infections adds 141,095 new cases to a total of 8,975,458.
Since last Friday, the total number of infections has risen to 882,422, about 10 percent of the cases recorded since the pandemic broke out, nearly two years ago.
hospital pressure
In line with the characteristics of this sixth wave, the very high number of covid infections does not translate into clear increases in hospital pressure.
Today there are 18,675 admitted patients (14.9%), compared to 18,934 yesterday, Thursday, and 19,000 on Wednesday. Downward trend, therefore, although less was recorded last Friday, 17,436.
In the ICUs, today there are 2,202 patients (23.2%), compared to 2,204 yesterday and 2,230 on Wednesday.
Also downward trend, with 2,224 last Friday, which means 22 fewer patients in intensive care units in the course of the week.
The community that continues to register the strongest pressure on the ucis, well above the average, is Catalonia (42 percent).
A good fact is that the income is below the discharge. Compared to 2,178 admissions for SARS-Cov-2 in the last 24 hours, 2,351 discharges.
The positivity by PCR is also improving, since if seven days ago it was 40.9 percent, this Friday it stands at 38%.
Deceased
The fatality from covid is now at 1 percent.
The number of deaths that have occurred in the last 24 hours is 142, reaching a total of official deaths since the pandemic began of 91,741.
Between Friday of last week and this Friday, 982 people have died from covid.
Casualties due to covid in the classrooms
A total of 24,724 teachers, 4.28% of the 755,000 in Spain, are on sick leave due to covid, and 1,962 classrooms, 0.49% of the 405,000 in Spain, are confined due to the disease. informed this Friday the Minister of Education and Vocational Training, Pilar Alegría.
The minister added that the number of confined students is 262,450, of the 8.2 million there are.
Pilar Alegría has admitted that “cases are increasing” because schools “are not elements unrelated to reality”, but these centers “have never been exporters of cases, in any case, importers of those who came from outside.”
