    Two women of 63 and a 68 bring to 12 the number of deaths from influenza A in Catalunya

    All had previous pathologies, according to the Conselleria de Salut de la Generalitat in a statement. The number represents a considerable increase compared to the deaths so far in a week in which, moreover, the incidence rate has doubled, from 289.5 cases per 100,000 population to the 483.77 - as well as the number of patients in intensive care units (ICU) from nine to 22

    These data are complemented by the stabilization of visits to primary care centres (PAC), around 838,000 in a week, and with the increase of phone calls to the number authorized by the Ministry, answered questions from the 1st November to the 11th almost as many calls during the month of October, which would mean that people are spending time at home when they feel they have flu, following the advice of the Health Service, and only going to health centres with a more serious case.

    So far there have been 130 severe cases in Catalonia, of which 78 have been discharged, 12 died, 22 remain hospitalized in the ICU and the remaining 18 are have been admitted to the general wards.
