The monitoring system has reflected this duality in the past: when the number of new coronavirus cases reaches a peak and starts to fall, the number of Covid-19 fatalities still takes time before it starts to descend. That is just what can be seen in the data supplied by the Spanish Health Ministry on Tuesday.
The number of diagnoses â which include those from previous days, and not just the last 24 hours â came in at 36,435 according to yesterdayâs report, the same level seen a week ago and far from the 44,357 reported on Thursday, January 21. It is a clear signal that, as the director of the Health Ministryâs Coordination Center for Health Alerts (CCAES) Fernando Simón said on Thursday, the new wave has now arrived at a plateau and should soon start to fall.
The Spanish government has ruled out for now canceling flights from the United Kingdom despite fears over a new, more contagious strain of the coronavirus in the country. On Sunday, several European countries, including Germany, Italy and France, announced a temporary halt on passenger flights arriving from the UK in a bid to stop the mutant strain of coronavirus crossing their borders. The Spanish government, however, did not follow suit, and instead called for a joint response from the European Union. While it awaits this response, the government announced that controls at airports and ports will be strengthened to ensure that all arrivals from the UK have a negative coronavirus test result.
