Search engine | Cases in large municipalities: there are 40 provincial capitals at high risk

2020-10-27T22:06:49.345Z


There are 30 over 300 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, 20 over 500 and four over 1,000: Huesca, Pamplona, ​​Granada and Teruel


The second wave of the coronavirus rises in almost all provincial capitals.

There are 44 public data, and practically all of them have an incidence of over 150 cases (in 14 days and per 100,000 inhabitants), which is the “high risk” threshold used by the Ministry of Health and the European Center for Disease Control for autonomous communities.

But often the situation is worse: there are 30 capitals over 300 cases, 20 over 500 and four over 1,000: Huesca, Pamplona, ​​Granada and Teruel.

We do not have data for all cities.

The Ministry of Health has that information in the system it launched in May, including by zip code, but it has never published the data at a lower level than the province.

The data has been collected by EL PAÍS from the communities that offer incidents by municipality.

The criteria are not always homogeneous, they do not have the same periodicity and some regions are missing.

Below you can find the evolution in more than 600 cities.

But first we look at those that have, right now, the most worrying incidence figures.

The big cities with the most incidence

The following graph shows the cities with the most cases among those with more than 100,000 inhabitants.

The worst cases are around 1,000: Pamplona, ​​Mataró, Salamanca, Reus, León or Burgos.

Also Granada, with 1,140 cases, which does not appear in the graph because we do not have their evolution, but it is the city with the worst data of all.

The most worrying thing in the graph are some trends: the growth of cases in Mataró, Salamanca or Burgos has no comparison with anything seen since the summer.

In fact, those detected rise faster than they did - at least in detection - during the first wave.

One sign of how fast cases are rising in many places is that among the worst cities there are now none from Madrid.

The second wave hit there weeks ago, but the cases have since been contained.

In some cities of Aragon, Catalonia and the Basque Country the curves show the third upturn.

Incidence in medium-sized municipalities

The situation is even worse in a handful of smaller cities.

There are about twenty with an incidence of over 1,000 cases.

Contagions are higher in municipalities of Navarra, Andalusia, the Basque Country, Aragon and Catalonia.

In Beasain (Basque Country) the positives multiply by seven those of 14 days ago.

Andalusian municipalities with high incidence, such as Écija (1,300), Estepa (1,300) or Peligros (2,200), do not appear in the graph, due to not having evolution.

Find your municipality

The following table shows the data for 672 municipalities with more than 10,000 inhabitants.

Galician and Extremadura towns are missing, which do not offer minimally accessible data.

In some cases, only the most recent data is available and there is no evolution.


Methodology

The data by municipalities have been collected by EL PAÍS from the different information portals of the autonomous communities.

The sources and data do not follow a single criterion of publication and periodicity.

The reported indicator also varies.

Most communities offer the daily or weekly evolution of PCR positives.

However, others such as La Rioja, Cantabria, and the Balearic Islands (indicated in the graphs and table with *) report active cases.

The Junta de Castilla y León offers positive data by basic health area.

Since a basic health zone can contain several municipalities, we have assigned each one the largest locality to which it belongs (indicated with **).

To calculate the incidence, the population associated with each basic zone has been considered.

Some autonomies publish only the latest daily information available so, for the moment, its evolution is not reported.
