    Madrid Accounts For A Third Of New Coronavirus Cases Detected In The Last Week

    Madrid is a cause for concern. That was the opinion voiced on Monday by Fernando Simón, the director of the Spanish Health Ministry’s Coordination Center for Health Alerts (CCAES), and repeated on Tuesday by the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, during an interview with the Cadena SER radio network. With 14% of the population of Spain, in the last week the region has accumulated nearly a third of all of the new coronavirus cases detected: 14,871 of a nationwide total of 49,399 – 8,155 of which were reported on Tuesday from the previous 24 hours. Something similar is taking place in terms of hospitalizations: 30% of Covid-19 patients in the country, 6,807, are in Madrid, according to the latest data released on Tuesday by the Health Ministry.

    Madrid’s share of the total number of cases shot back up in August, after the month of July saw the virus spreading fast through the Aragón and Catalonia regions. At that point, Madrid only accounted for 12% of the total number of positives, a figure that is more in line with the proportion of its population. But according to consolidated data from the Carlos III Health Institute, up to August 23, the figure is now at 28%, in line with what was seen from the outset of the health crisis in March.

    “Madrid is the region where we need to focus all of our attention,” explains Álex Arenas, a physicist and researcher at the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, and an expert in mathematical models.

    His calculations predicted with reasonable accuracy how the epidemic would behave in the first wave and he is fine tuning them to anticipate what will happen in this second one. But, he warns, everything depends on the measures that are taken and how much mobility increases with the return to the workplace in September and the start of the new school year. He warns that if the current trends continue, the situation will “be very difficult once more” in a very short space of time.

    “If we manage to get 30% of the population working from home, that will be a significant reduction in mobility, which could help,” he explains. But that won’t be sufficient for Madrid. “There needs to be some kind of confinement in the south so that the virus does not have an impact in the rest of the healthcare areas, before spreading to the adjacent areas and then the rest of the country.”

    Many epidemiologists were shocked to see Madrid move to the “new normality” with a completely insufficient number of contact tracers
    Part of the problem in Madrid is precisely the fact that it is a hub, a dense city with the biggest metropolitan area in Spain, with huge numbers of journeys taken on public transportation, and a lot of the characteristics that are needed for the spread of the SARS-Covid-2 virus. Simón interpreted the rising figures in August as a result of the return of many holidaymakers to the city after their summer vacation, as he explained on Monday, adding that the same problem could occur in September.

    But there are more factors to consider. Many epidemiologists and public-health experts were shocked to see Madrid move to what the government has dubbed the “new normality” with a completely insufficient number of contact tracers in terms of the size of its population. During the months of June and July there was a trickle of cases without links – there was not the capacity to locate their contacts.

    According to a report from the CCOO labor union released on Tuesday, the regional government has hired just 210 of these professionals since June. That was the figure supplied by the general director of the regional public health service, Elena Andradas. At the end of May, the regional government itself reported to the Health Ministry that it had 169 contact tracers. That’s to say, there are fewer than 400 contact tracers working in the region right now, when the international standard suggests that Madrid should have more than 1,200 based on its population.

    Madrid’s deputy premier on Tuesday criticized what he called the government’s “self-serving obsession” with the region.
    During his interview on Cadena SER on Tuesday, Sánchez avoided pointing the finger nor highlighting regions that have failed to shore up their public health systems, but he did hint that Madrid was one of these. “You only have to look at the figures,” he said. The regional premier, Isabel Díaz Ayuso of the Popular Party (PP), didn’t hesitate to respond. On Monday, after hearing Simón’s comments about the situation in the region, she accused the Health Ministry of “unfair, disproportionate cruelty, which is damaging for Spain.” The deputy premier, Ignacio Aguado of Ciudadanos, on Tuesday criticized what he called the government’s “self-serving obsession” with the region.

    The experts insist, however, that while the data may resemble those of March, the situation is completely different. The high number of tests being carried out now means that the progress of the situation can be anticipated. That said, there are more and more voices warning that if the measures currently
