The health ministry has updated figures for active positive cases per municipality. There has been a rise in sixteen municipalities, a decrease in 20 and no change in the other 17 municipalities (which include nine where there are no cases).

The overall picture is more positive than last week, when there were increases in 23 municipalities and decreases in 14.

The Círculo de Economia de Mallorca has created colour-coded traffic light indicators of the daily situation with the pandemic in the Balearics.

"Share the state of the pandemic in the Balearic Islands" is the message from the Círculo, an entity closed linked to the Chamber of Commerce. There are red, yellow and green risks according to the number of new accumulated cases over a seven-day period, the reproductive rate, the positive test rate, the occupancy of intensive care units and the availability of health resources.

...
As well as the daily update, the information on the Círculo's website provides an estimate of the incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants for the next seven and fourteen days. This estimate is based on a predictive mathematical model.

...
The traffic light system can be viewed at: https://cerclemallorca.es/covid-data...ic-islands-es/

Thanks Mike. At 14 is that an increase or decrease (decrease I think)? Is there any area of Pollensa and PP where the disease is most prevalent? Schools/nursing homes etc?

The official agencies don't tend to publish that much info except in extreme circumstances.
Remember, not all you see and hear in the press and media is accurate.

I think the only real number that we need to consider is admissions to hospital. All the others are pretty much meaningless, as they don't offer any real understanding of how many people actually have the virus, due to a lot of people showing minor or no symptoms at all.

I read that in the UK, only 2% of people being tested are proving positive, but how many are positive and not being tested? Just shows how difficult it is to manage.

I thought the traffic light system and the graphs on https://cerclemallorca.es/covid-data-balearic-islands/ are quite interesting.

I'd say at 14 cases Pollensa is doing pretty well.

In my school we had 5 positive cases today and a total of 12 students and 3 staff so far this week alone! We have another 5 symptomatic staff waiting for results!

Its carnage at the moment and we're in a relatively low case area.

Roll on half term

Coronavirus infections have gone down in the Balearic Islands, but just when we thought we might see an end to the restrictions, the President of the Government, Francina Armengol has announced that social gatherings between family or friends are now limited to a maximum of 6 people.

...
Throughout her speech, President Armengol claimed that restrictive action, amongst other things, “has led to a significant improvement in health figures in the last two months,” and that from August 29 to date the accumulated incidence in 14 days has gone from 521 to 140 in the Balearic Islands.”

She stated that although the Balearic Islands have managed to lower the curve, the incidence has "stagnated" at a higher level than in the first wave of the pandemic.

"A rebound in a third wave cannot catch us with such high levels of affectation", she said. ...

Goals

“Our objective is to reach the low risk zone; to decrease the 140 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days that we have now to less than 50; to reduce the 69.5 cases in seven days to less than 25; to keep the positivity rate below 5%; to have less than 5% of hospital beds occupied by Covid-19 patients and to reduce ICU occupation from 14% to under 10%. That’s our goal,” she said “and we cannot stand idly by.”

The Balearic health ministry has announced new restrictions for Mallorca. Social and family gatherings are to be reduced from ten to six people, unless people are living together. For celebrations, capacities are to be cut to 25 indoors and 50 outdoors. Activity in places of worships is to be reduced to 30%, and it is recommended that people should not sing.

Sitting by bars in hospitality establishments is to be banned, and the maximum number of people per table will be six. In shopping centres, capacity is to be cut to 50%. The sale of alcohol after 10pm is prohibited. In sports establishments, the maximum capacity will be reduced to 30%, and group activities cannot exceed fifteen people.

The measures will come into effect on Saturday, which is when they will be published on the Official Bulletin. An exception is for weddings. The new capacities will not apply until November 1.

...

Although the measures will initially apply for fifteen days, they are likely to remain in place for a few months and coincide with the time of year when people are more likely to be indoors.

Updated figures from the Balearic health ministry indicate that the numbers of active cases of coronavirus have risen in thirty of Mallorca's 53 municipalities. There have been decreases in fourteen and no changes in nine.

There are three municipalities where the increases have been quite marked. In Pollensa, there has been an increase of over 80% from 37 on November 5 to 68. The health ministry is investigating the origins, not having drawn any conclusions as yet.

There has been no change in the rules, masks in all public areas except when eating or drinking, no smoking except in your own home etc.

There is often a rise in infections over the weekend, i think because many come up from Palma to their second homes.
