A total of 112 Covid patients are being treated in hospitals, 86 are in silver and 26 in the ICUs.

• Menorca: 14 patients on the ward; 3 in the ICU.

Health organisations remind us of the importance of vaccination to stop the pandemic and that variants such as the Delta multiply the number of people infected by 80.

The Official College of Doctors of the Balearic Islands appeals to the responsibility of citizens.

The government will approve next Tuesday that pharmacies can sell antigen tests without prescription. So any citizen will be able to buy the rapid test in a pharmacy and find out if they have Covid 19.
