The new data update provided by the Ministry of Health on the evolution of the coronavirus shows a considerable increase in new positive cases in the Marina Alta, counting again, the highest number of infections of this fifth wave.
The Dénia Health Department has recorded 466 new infections since last Tuesday, which brings to 11.869 the total number of people who have contracted the virus since the start of the pandemic. Of the total, there are currently 1274 cases that are still active in the Marina Alta. In this way, the accumulated incidence in the region has skyrocketed by nearly 200 points, standing at 746,67 cases per 100.000 inhabitants, which continues to be at extreme risk.
In Dénia, of the 466 counted cases, it registers 128 compared to 84 last Tuesday, which shows a considered increase in infections that raises 3.523 the total of people who have tested positive for COVID since the start of the pandemic.
Currently, the capital of the region has 283 active cases and the incidence stands at 660,80 cases per 100.000 inhabitants.
Let's see if we can clarify. We have 283 active cases in total with 42827 inhabitants, if there were one hundred thousand inhabitants, the active cases would be 660.79 (I don't know how to obtain the 746.67 they say). In short, the number of positives is indeed high. But, I wonder: What is the current population today in Denia? Does anyone know? Can it be one hundred and eighty thousand, or two hundred thousand? How many tourists do we welcome on these dates? How should this calculation be made in these circumstances? Why not inform us of the measures that are adopted with the contagious to prevent them from spreading the disease.
