ARCHIVED - Spain changes Covid reporting system again and reports 2,000 less dead than yesterday
There were 50 deaths yesterday, maintaining the low levels of last week when deaths were consistently under 100 daily
It’s likely that we’ll never know the true extent of the Covid crisis worldwide as reporting of the statistics has been so fragmented and distorted by the methods used in various countries and the lack of available and accurate data.
Here in Spain the most difficult task is keeping up with the endless changes to the way in which data is reported and today the Spanish Health Ministry has done the impossible; raised nearly 2,000 Covid victims from the dead by yet again changing the way in which statistical data is presented.
According to this new accounting, “only” 26,834 people have died, 1918 less than the total yesterday and 235,400 have been infected since the epidemic began in Spain, 372 less than the closing total on Sunday.
The Health Ministry says that “the discrepancies that may appear with respect to the data on total cases previously reported are the result of their validation by the autonomous communities and the transition to the new surveillance strategy" and may continue to distort the data for a few more days as the regional health authorities adjust their reporting structure.
The Ministry has stopped referring to "new cases confirmed by PCR" and now includes up to five different categories depending on the date of diagnosis or onset of symptoms of the patient. The new report now lists "cases diagnosed the previous day", which in the case of this Monday total 132. Of these, Cataluña accounts for 89 and the Comunidad de Madrid (18). This is the lowest total of “new cases” since 4th March when the figure was 89.
In the most serious cases -hospitalizations, intensive care admissions and deaths, the data now refers to "date of admission in the last 7 days" and "date of death in the last 7 days". In previous bulletins the data was defined as "new" or “deceased” each day. So based on this data, there were 50 new deaths "in the last seven days", 256 hospitalized and 11 intensive care admissions.
