Dénia is already the fourth department with the highest incidence of coronavirus
The Marina Alta is once again among the regions with the highest rate of coronavirus infections. In departments, where the figures are more appreciable, Dénia, on which the entire region depends, is already among the 5 with the highest incidence of coronavirus in the Valencian Community.
Just a month ago, the Marina Alta had the best coronavirus data for the second semester. But a weeks later, with bridges and festivities in between, they have made all optimism darken. Now, to make matters worse, it is not fair to blame Christmas since it is still too early to know the consequences of these. Therefore, we are talking about a situation that is what we faced last week at Christmas events.
La incidencia acumulada del coronavirus en el departamento de salud de Dénia se sitúa en 465’82, demasiado similar a la peor registrada durante la pandemia en la comarca. Esta cifra indica la cantidad de contagios por cada 100.000 habitantes de los distintos departamentos y municipios a través de una fórmula matemática que tiene en cuenta la población total y los casos activos.
En la última actualización de noviembre, del 27 de ese mes, la Marina Alta contaba con una incidencia de 78’61. Ahora, ésta se ha cuadruplicado.
En la Comunitat Valenciana solo existen 3 departamentos de salud con una incidencia superior a la del departamento de salud de Dénia. Éstos son: el de Vinaròs, con 498’81, Requena, con 565’17, y Xàtiva, con 656’51. Comarcas vecinas a la Marina Alta tienen una incidencia muy inferior, lo que resalta la situación tan sensible por la que pasamos (el departamento de salud de Gandia tiene 398’30 y el de la Marina Baixa 164’58).
These data, unfortunately, are expected to worsen in the following updates when the infections suffered at Christmas are added. In addition, Public Health informed the town councils of the region that, indeed, we were going through one of the hardest moments. So much so that they reported that they could not add all the cases to the latest update since PCR tests were accumulating too much since last December 24 due to an increase in requests.
