Andalucia Reports A Rise In Cases And Hospital Admissions After Lowering Restrictions Over Easter.

ANDALUCIA has registered its seventh consecutive increase in hospitalised patients suffering from the coronavirus today, Friday, April 9. The number of people admitted to hospital for coronavirus has risen to 1,372, 32 more than the day before and 340 more than last Friday.

ICU units in the region have also reported an increase of 27 admissions over the last week. There are now a total of 292 in Intensive Care Units, which is four more than yesterday, April 8.

This was announced by the Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, at the ‘SUR Live!’ Meeting. The minister said that the new figures represent the biggest rise since February 2.

Despite these increases, the region is still far from the peaks of the number of hospitalised patients registered in the region’s third wave on February 2 (4,980), in the second on November 10 (3,478) and in the first on March 30, 2020 (2,708).
