The Sunday figures from the Balearic health ministry are encouraging in one regard - the positive test rate is just over the World Health Organization five per cent target. With 156 new positive cases from 3,069 tests, the rate is 5.08%. This rate has been going up and down for several weeks. Nevertheless, given the number of tests, it is quite low. On Friday, by way of comparison, it was 8.34% from 2,984 tests, and on Saturday 6.25% from 3,122 tests.
