There are currently 1,046 active cases of covid. This was the highest temperature ever recorded in the Pitiusas yesterday, and it had not been seen since early September. This significant number of cases, following a day in which laboratories discovered 98 new infections (one of which was in Formentera) and only five discharges were issued, does not result in an increase in hospital demand.
On the contrary, the number of hospitalized in Ibiza was marginally reduced yesterday following the discharge of an admitted patient. There are presently 18 people, three of them are in the intensive care unit (ICU) (one in the Polyclinic Nuestra Seora del Rosario). Can Misses Hospital has not had to make any amendments or extensions so far, despite having triggered the contingency plan.
However, the numerous daily positives recorded on Ibiza are a clear indicator of the island’s surge in incidence, and the sixth wave is in full swing, so the number of active cases is projected to expand and stress the health system. Currently, 1,015 people in Ibiza and 13 in Formentera remain in their homes, in a mild state or without symptoms, all under care of Primary Care teams.
