THERE is good news today on coronavirus recoveries in Almeria, as another eight people win the battle against Covid-19. To date 126 people have completely got over the virus. Also encouraging is the news that the condition of a number of patients who were seriously ill and were being treated in the intensive care units of hospitals in El Ejido, Almeria City and Huercal-Overa have now improved sufficiently to be moved out of the units. What’s more, there have been no new admissions to intensive care in the last 24 hours. https://www.facebook.com/TorrecardenasHU/videos/817813078707685/ However the latest Junta de Andalucia figures show two more people have lost their lives to Covid-19 since Friday. The total number of fatalities in the province now stands at 41, representing 9.23 per cent of the diagnosed cases. A total of 444 people have now tested positive for the virus in Almeria, eight more than yesterday.
