The coronavirus pandemic has left eleven more dead in the province of Alicante and 27 in the Valencian Community in the last 24 hours. The vast majority of these deaths 23, correspond to people who were living nursing homes.

The total number of people hospitalised in the whole community is 1,173 (74 less than yesterday), of which 252 are in the ICU (22 less than on Wednesday). Likewise, a further 94 health professionals have been discharged, while another 37 have been newly infected.

National figures for Friday
Health has reported this Friday that the increase in infections from coronavirus remains at 3% with the total number of registered cases now 188,068, which is 5,252 more cases than this Thursday.
This is a slight rise in cases after the increase in the number of tests performed. Yesterday the growth was 5,183 new positives, something that Health blamed on the increase in the tests.
However the number of deaths has again risen with this mornings data recording a further 585 deaths taking the total to 19,478.
However, yesterday the deaths were at 19,130, but the figures are now being collected slightly differently so, without the adjustment they are making, the increase would be 348 .
The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa said that between 40,000 and 47,000 tests are being carried out daily.
