Hospital admissions in Andalucía have also seen an increase for the eleventh consecutive day, with 1,697 admitted on Wednesday, 284 of whom are in the ICU.
“These are very, very worrying data,” said the Minister of Health, Jesús Aguirre.
The disturbing figures come as the Junta de Andalucía plans to tighten restrictive measures in the community even further on Friday, January 15.
After a meeting, late last night, with the Advisory Committee on high-impact public health alerts in Andalucía, it was decided that ‘new stricter measures that affect mobility and economic activity within the community will, unfortunately, have to be taken,’ said Mr Moreno.
