The municipalities which have lowered their cumulative incidence rate to fewer than 500 infections per 100,000 thousand inhabitabts, and can thus abandon restrictions are: Alicún, Almócita, Benahadux, Fiñana, Gádor, Íllar, Níjar, Pechina, Santa Fe de Mondújar, Tabernas, Albox, Chirivel, Huércal-Overa, Macael, Oria, Pulpí, Sierro, Somontín, Suflí, Alcolea, El Ejido and Vícar.
A further eleven municipalities have an incidence rate of less than 1,000 and so can open non-essential businesses, but will still be subject to mobility restrictions. These are: Alhama de Almeria, Carboneras, Huercal de Almeria, Viator, Bacares, Los Gallardos, Garrucha, Mojacar, Olula del Rio, Turre and Balanegra.
The average cumulative incidence rate in Almeria is still the highest in the Andalucían Community, recorded as 500.7 cases per 100,000 on Thursday, however, the pressure on hospitals continues to reduce in the region, with the number of people hospitalised falling below 300 for the first time since January 22.
