Andalusia reports a new record of 1,389 cases in the last 24 hours. Malaga has reported most of the cases today with 350, followed by Seville with 328. Huelva is the lowest with 40 with Granada next on 105 cases.

Sadly, there were 25 more deaths declared today. Eleven in Cadiz, six in Malaga, four in Almeria, Two in Granada and one in Seville and Cordoba. Bringing the total since the pandemic began in Andalusia to 1,672.

Huelva with the 40 cases confirmed today reports the worst 24 hours since the pandemic began. There are currently five clusters in Huelva which account for 32 of the most recently reported cases. It is also important to note that there has been an increase in testing and all teachers returning to work have taken a rapid test and where this has given a positive result they have then taken a PCR test. The majority of the cases declared today in Huelva are in the capital (19), followed by seven in Aljaraque and five in Ayamonte.

Thursday 17th September report for all the Andalusian Provinces.

 

Huelva has one new hospitalisation and one of the seven patients is in intensive care. Cadiz, Seville and Malaga are seeing the majority of the hospitalisations.

 

In other news, I would like to stress that is important to check the source of the information being spread. Please verify information with official sources, be it the Health services or local Police or Town Hall. The rumour of the international bridge closing tomorrow is completely false, it is not closing. Yes, Portugal have introduced stricter measures to bring the virus under control but closing the bridge is not one of them. That is my rant over because I had numerous phone calls and emails from people due to this fake news and people who are travelling to Ayamonte from abroad were worried they would not be able to get here. Infoayamonte will not publish rumour.
