At the moment there are 2,522 active cases in the whole of the autonomous territory, 37 fewer than there were yesterday.

In the last 24 hours, nine hospital discharges have been registered in the province and 57 in the Community. However, 55 people with covid-19 are currently hospitalised in Alicante hospitals, the same number as yesterday, while there are 13 patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of one of these hospitals.
