One person has died in the last 24 hours from coronavirus in the province of Alicante, according to data just released by the Minister of Health, Ana Barceló.

However, in the whole of the Valencian Community, four people have passed away in the last 24 hours, three of them in care home residences. The good news is that those admitted to hospitals and Intensive Care Units continues to drop. In the province there are now just 129 people in hospitals, 35 of them in ICUs.

The number of new cases is 9, a slight increase from yesterday when there were just 3, but well below the figures recorded at the beginning of the week on Sunday and Monday, 80 and 28 respectively.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, 142 people have died from Covid-19 in the Region. In addition, there was a slight rebound in cases, with eight new PCR positives, which contrasts with Monday, when none were recorded.

The director of the Centre for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (CCAES), Fernando Simón, said of the data on Wednesday “there is not much variation with respect to recent days.” He said that he hoped the number of deaths per day will continue to be below 200 in the coming days “if there are no changes due to misuse of the new mobility conditions.”
