Young People Currently Leading the Covid Cases in Spain
Young people are currently leading the cases of Covid-19 in Spain with the age group between 15 and 19 years old being the most contagious.
THE data for all autonomous communities currently shows that more young people are infected and that they are also the most contagious. Epidemiologist, Joan Caylà, highlights that “the virus passes to the parents of these young people and to their grandparents.” ADVERTISEMENT
Young people, however, are not the majority admitted to hospitals. The data from Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) clearly shows that although the 15 to 29 age group have the most registered infections the data for hospitalisation increases with age.

The Health Ministryâs latest coronavirus report, released on Tuesday, reflects an ongoing downward trend, albeit one that is now very weak. The clearest example of this is in the 14-day cumulative number of coronavirus cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which fell just 1.17 points yesterday to 127.8. The curve for this key indicator is practically flat. Whatâs more, if the figures are looked at region by region, the rate has actually risen in a majority of territories from the previous day. This is the case in Andalusia, the Balearics and Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Galicia, Murcia, Navarre and the Basque Country, as well as in the North African exclave city of Melilla.
