The Sunday report from the Balearic health ministry shows 309 new positive cases of coronavirus. These are 58 fewer than on Saturday - Mallorca 246 (278 on Saturday), Minorca 21 (39), Ibiza 12 (26), Formentera one (four), plus unspecified.

The test rate is 15.2%. It was 12.3% on Saturday, and the seven-day test rate has risen from 13.18% to 14.42%. However, the Sunday positive cases have not so far been recorded on the website which updates this rolling seven-day test rate and the cumulative incidence rates. The absence of these cases will influence the figures.

This said, 14-day cumulative incidence has fallen for the Balearics as a whole (394.4 from 399.8) and for Mallorca and Ibiza; in Mallorca from 418.7 to 413.8, in Ibiza from 247.0 to 231.8. It is up in Minorca from 491.4 to 493.5 and in Formentera from 168.0 to 184.8. The seven-day cumulative incidence for the Balearics is up slightly from 181.2 to 182.9.
