The number of coronavirus deaths being recorded in Spain is finally starting to let up, and some regions are now seeing days go by without a single Covid-19 fatality. According to data from the National Epidemiological Monitoring Network, from April 19 to 25 â the last week with the most consolidated data â eight regions reported fewer than 10 deaths each. Of these, Murcia, the Balearic Islands, Cantabria and La Rioja reported fewer than one fatality a day.
While delays to reporting from the regions could still alter this data, the figures for the following week confirm the trend, and according to Wednesdayâs provisional figures from the Health Ministry covering the previous seven days, the improvement in the fatality rate has been consolidated: the vaccination campaign and the fall in transmission due to social restrictions have brought the number of victims down.
