Also since Thursday a further 40 cases of the virus have been diagnosed, according to Health Ministry figures.
The islands’ current total for cases testing positive stands at 1,488.
The spokesman for the infectious disease management autonomous committee, Javier Arranz, warned earlier this week that the Balearics are at a stage of the pandemic in which the curve in contagions curve would fluctuate up and down.
