Covid patients in Balearic hospitals aged between 40 and 70

Once again stating that de-escalation of restrictions must be slow, Arranz indicated that in order to eliminate the curfew permanently, "we will have to make more advance in vaccination". Changing the curfew start time to midnight, he noted, will be a way of relaxing restrictions in a region where the incidence of coronavirus is on a downward trend.

At the weekly press conference on Monday, Arranz explained that the age profile of Covid patients now being admitted to hospital - wards and intensive care - is generally between 40 and 70. In April and up to mid-May, 45% were between 50 and 69, while 30% were below 49. This is "a clearly different situation to months or a year ago".
