Data indicates that the transmission curve of the sixth wave continues to decline, as hospital occupation gradually eases. According to data from the Ministry of Health, the pressure in intensive care units has dropped from 22.2 per cent to 19.9 per cent.

In hospital wards, it has been lightened from 15 per cent to 13 per cent, although in at least a dozen territories both indicators continue to be well above the Government’s very high-risk threshold on the ‘traffic-light’ system, as reported by elespanol.com.
