Since the last update on Wednesday, 1,563 patients with coronavirus have been given the all-clear, so the total of people cured since the beginning of the pandemic now stands at 92,337 in the region: 10,801 in Castellón, 31,751 in Alicante and 49,731 in Valencia.

Valencian hospitals currently have 1,354 patients admitted with more severe cases of the coronavirus: 126 in the province of Castellón, with 21 patients in ICU; 430 in the province of Alicante, 104 of them in the ICU intensive care units; and 798 in the province of Valencia, 166 of them in ICU.

The occupancy rate for patients with COVID-19 in the ward is 12.3% (and 59.5% for non-COVID-19 patients). In ICU, the occupation of patients with COVID-19 is 40% (non-COVID-19 patients, 30.4%).

The cumulative incidence rate in the last 7 days is 113.59 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the Valencian Region and in the last 14 days 281.55, the figures being well below the Spanish average. The region has consistently been at the bottom of the list of case numbers for Spain since the beginning of the second wave and is performing very well compared to other areas of Spain, although obviously, the regional government is keen to bring the case numbers down to the 25 per 100,000 over 7 days, or 60 over 14 days, which is the target for the virus being considered to be under control.

The total number of tests carried out for the detection of the coronavirus now totals 1,712,854, of which 1,551,057 have been through PCR and 161,797 through rapid test.
