The population between 16 and 29 years of age in Ibiza accounts for most of the covid infections detected in the last two weeks. To be precise, the 14-day cumulative incidence (AI) recorded yesterday for this age group stands at 1,170.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, almost triple the island’s average, which stood yesterday at 405.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, when the previous day this figure was 344.5 infections.
This jump in the 14-day infection rate is evidence of the sharp increase in the rate of virus transmission on the islands, which began on Tuesday last week when 35 cases were reported. Yesterday there were 79 positives detected in the Pitiusas by the Ibiza and Formentera Health Area.
