ARCHIVED - 394 new cases and one death; Saturday 26th September Region of Murcia Coronavirus
The total number of new cases reported this week is 3193
On Friday 18th the Murcia region had 7097 active cases; this Friday the figure has risen to 8,127, an increase of 1030 active cases in a week, or 147 a day, taking into consideration the number of cured cases and deaths.
The total number of cases increased from 15,806, to 18,999 an actual increase of the number of cases detected by 3193 in a WEEK. This is slightly lower than the 3328 reported last week, so could be interpreted as good news, but the reason being given by the regional health ministry is that a lower number of PCR tests were undertaken in the early part of the week. This does tie in with the number of new cases reported which were a lot lower on Monday and Tuesday due to low numbers of PCR tests, but the regional health authority has warned that the number of cases being detected is likely to rise sharply in the next few days as the testers catch up with the outstanding tests.
Saturday:
The 394 new cases reported by the regional health department are nearly matched by the number of cured cases on Saturday; 372, the net result being that the total number of active cases has only increased by 21, the total number of active cases now being 8,148.
The total of cured cases is now 9,338.
Of the 394 new cases, 91 correspond to the municipality of Murcia, 52 to Lorca, 48 to Totana, 34 to Molina de Segura, 18 to Cartagena, 16 to Alhama de Murcia, 14 to Jumilla, 14 to Torre Pacheco, 11 to Archena, 11 to Las Torres de Cotillas, 10 to Alcantarilla, 10 to Yecla, and 9 to Alguazas. The remainder are distributed in smaller quantities around the region.
The list of cases reported in the last 7 days below was last updated FRIDAY and will not be updated again until Monday, so the figures above are not taken into consideration.
Note, the first figure shown below is the actual number of cases diagnosed in the last 7 days, the second is the IA rate for the last 7 days (number of cases per 100,000 of population): In brackets the number of cases is indicated as either a positive or negative compared to the situation on Thursday, taking into consideration that patients are recovering and being removed from the list all the time)

Those from other regions diagnosed in Murcia 58
Fatalities:
There has been one further fatality; the only information given that the patient concerned is female, from Murcia city and falls within the age bracket of 65-69.This is the 41st fatality this month, the 201st in total and the eighteenth consecutive day on which fatalities have been reported.
Hospitalisations:
A slight drop has been reported in the number of people admitted to hospital, which is good news, the total falling from 325 to 322 in the last 24 hours, and 58 patients remain in intensive care, the same figure as on Friday.The remaining 7,826 active cases are in home isolation.
PCR tests:
3,424 PCR tests were undertaken during Friday, bringing the total tests to date to 232,805. The regional government has now purchased a million units of the new antigen tests, which are a lot cheaper and a lot quicker, and will start to be used in the worst affected municipalities from Monday onwards, as the regional government attempts to find as many positive cases as possible and get them into confinement. The new antigen testers are initially being used in Totana, Lorca and Jumilla, we're being told, although they may appear elsewhere as the week moves on and staff are trained in how to apply them.
