ARCHIVED - Wednesday Covid Murcia; six new positives bring active cases up to 68
Three of these relate to the Bolivian outbreak
Daily Covid figures relating to the current situation in the Region of Murcia confirm that six new cases of Covid-19 have been detected in the last 24 hours, bringing the number of active cases up to 68.
In total the region has recorded 3,352 cases since the pandemic first began.
Three of the new cases relate to the outbreak which began with 3 Bolivian nationals returning to Spain via Barajas airport in Madrid on June 3rd, who subsequently developed symptoms, but not before infecting a number of other people. Those original contacts have now brought the number of positives in this case up to 35. Ten of the positives work in a frozen fruit and veg. factory in the El Raal pedanía of the Murcia municipality which has now been temporarily closed as a hygiene measure. It has since been confirmed that none of the products made by the factory present any health risk at all to users.
Contrary to inaccurate reports in a Costa Blanca newspaper, the Murcia Region has NOT decreed the lockdown of any municipalities related to this case.
It has also been confirmed that 2 immigrants who arrived in Águilas in a boat on Monday have also tested positive.
On Tuesday 672 PCR tests and 206 antibody tests were undertaken in the region, bringing the totals to 62,971 for PCR swab tests and 61,227 antibody tests.
54 of the 68 active cases are in home quarantine with mild symptoms, 14 people are now hospitalised and 1 patient remains in intensive care.
There has been no change in the total fatalities since June 9th, which remains at 150.
