As of Friday, a total of 7,465 people in the Balearics were either isolating because of Covid or were in hospital – 67 in the case of the latter. Under half (3,407) were active cases, people positive for Covid; the rest were close contacts.
The health service is stressing that anyone who has symptoms should not go to a health center. They can call the free InfoCovid number, 900 100 971. Sticking to the quarantine requirement is essential.
Friday’s figures showed that the positivity test rate – 9.81% from 4,771 tests – was similar to what it was at the end of January. The cumulative incidence of 273.9 was also comparable with how it was some five and a half months ago. In terms of risk classification, a 14-day incidence above 250 is considered to be extreme risk.
