The Balearic health ministry reports 822 new positive cases of coronavirus on Sunday. These are 696 fewer than were reported on Saturday.

Saturday having been a holiday accounts for the lower number of cases - not as many tests as usual. The test rate for the 822 cases is given as 23.61% (3,481 tests). It was 24.75% for 1,518 reported on Saturday (6,133 tests), a number of new cases that was also down on the 1,973 on Friday.
