ARCHIVED - Almost 13,000 new infections in the Valencia region this week Covid Update July 30
1.977 new daily infections in the region's three provinces, including Alicante, as 14-day cumulative incident rate jumps 50 points in five days.
New infections have yo-yoed this week with a total of 12,988 new infections and 15 deaths recorded, and the 14-day cumulative incidence rate has leapt almost 50 points to 589 cases per 100,000 inhabitants since Monday.
As the fifth wave continues to peak in the Valencia region, all of the 265 municipalities have registered new Covid diagnosis since Monday, with the most infections, once again, in Valencia itself, with 1,572, followed by Alicante (649); Elche (267) and Castelló de la Plana (245).
According to the Ministry of Health's data, Benidorm has recorded 136 cases; Gandia (134); Dénia, (97); San Vicente del Raspeig (83); Torrevieja (74); Villajoyosa (52); Javea (59); Calpe (43); and Santa Pola (41). The rest of the municipalities have registered 40 or less.
While the region is a long way off the 26 cases per 100,000 recorded just over two months ago, its current rate of 589 is still below the national average of 696, and Catalonia (980); and Madrid (750); but is not faring as well as Murcia (457), or Andalusia (568).
