Four populations of the Marina Alta registered coronavirus infections in the last weekend, with Dénia and Calp, with 3 positives each in the last two weeks, the worst figures recorded. Of course, they are still much more optimistic data than those of departments of similar size.
The situation of the hospital, according to close sources consulted by Dénia.com, is also positive, with a single patient admitted with coronavirus. However, it is true that he had to be transferred to the ICU due to problems arising from COVID-19.
