Immunization was put on hold in Madrid due to Storm Filomena, but the region – like others hit by the heavy snowfall – has promised that the process will not suffer more delays

Asturias has managed to administer 81% of received doses so far, while Madrid has only used 6% and Catalonia 13%

In eight of the country’s 17 regions, the 14-day cumulative number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants has fallen below 250, a threshold that indicates “extreme risk”

The Health Ministry added 351 victims to the official toll on Wednesday, bringing the cumulative number of fatalities in the past week to 1,346

The incidence rate has been falling since November 2, but more than 1.5 million cases have been detected since the beginning of the pandemic

The incidence rate has fallen in nearly all regions and territories, while pressure on intensive care units is also beginning to ease

Health experts argue that home confinement is the only proven strategy to slow the spread of the coronavirus

According to the latest data, 267 fatalities were added to the official toll, which now stands at 35,298
