The number of deaths from Covid in the Balearics in February fell after two months - December and January - when the combined number based on date of death was 195. It should be noted that this record is different to the number of deaths notified each day by public health in the Balearics to the Centre for Health Alerts and Emergencies, as this figure can include accumulated deaths from previous days or even weeks.

Although 126 Covid deaths were reported in February, the actual number was 69. The two months with the highest numbers are April last year with 144 and January with 126.
