An equal number had not been reached since August 21, when 186 cases were detected
Three months later, the Region of Murcia returns to touch the 150 cases of coronavirus during a Saturday, a non-working day for many workers and in which the same number of PCR tests are not performed to detect the coronavirus as during the week. During the last 24 hours, the Epidemiology Service registered 148 new positive cases, of which 33 correspond to Murcia, 25 to Cartagena, 14 to Torre Pacheco, 13 to Mazarrón, 11 to Lorca, 8 to Yecla, 5 to Molina de Segura , and 4 to Archena and Cehegín. The rest are distributed in various municipalities.
This is the highest figure detected on a Saturday since last August 22. Then, the tests reflected 186 new infections by Covid-19; a week later, 106 were detected, and since then the positives had always remained below a hundred.
However, at the end of August 176 patients remained admitted to hospitals, 33 of them in the ICU, while now only 44 are affected who require hospital care, and only 7 of them are in the Intensive Care Unit. In addition, the percentage of vaccination has grown since August to exceed 80% of the target population that has already received the two doses.
On the other hand, there was no death from the pandemic on Saturday, so the total number of deaths from Covid-19 remains at 1,764.
