The Ministry of Health is checking the parameters to establish danger thresholds with respect to the coronavirus, levels that they suppose recommendations for the autonomous governments to when making decisions about possible restrictions. One of the references is the accumulated incidence, which so far places the low risk below 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days, and the very high, above 250. According to ‘El País’ has advanced, citing as a source the draft prepared by Health and which will foreseeably be approved this Tuesday by the Public Health Commission, this scale will be changed: the low risk of transmission reaches up to 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
According to this new criterion, Spain, with a cumulative incidence this Monday of 82 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, I would be at low risk of transmission again. Catalonia too: yesterday it was 86.84. With the new traffic light, Spain would be in a coronavirus control situation, taking into account all the parameters.
Control situation
Other indicators that will be taken into account to establish alert levels are also looked at: the number of new hospital admissions and ucis in 7 days per 100,000 inhabitants.
Although these risk levels are designed for territorial units such as provinces or localities, they are usually extrapolated to autonomous communities or even the entire country to give an idea of the general situation. With the new traffic light, Spain would be in a situation of control of the coronavirus, taking into account all the parameters.
