There were also 5 new infections, making 1,859 altogether. The Ministry of Health has changed its criteria and now only reports new cases of Covid-19 for patients who’ve been diagnosed via a PCR test and does not include those who were tested for antibodies.
“Antibody tests are used to identify people who have already had coronavirus, which according to experts, should not be counted as new cases,” said the Health Minister, Salvador Illa.
1,062 patients have been hospitalised since the pandemic began and 166 of them are still in the Intensive Care Unit, but there were no additional ICU patients in the last 24 hours.
The good news is, another 13 patients have completely recovered from the disease and no longer show any symptoms, which means 1,136 people in the Balearic Islands have beaten Covid-19.
Dr Javier Arranz, Spokesperson for the Autonomous Coronavirus Committee confirmed the lowest number of new infections in the Balearic Islands on Sunday.

Can someone explain how this tiny amount of infected and newly infected stands in any relationship to the ridiculous lock down measures and resulting devestating economic consequences? Look at Sweden! No lock down, yet (relatively) a lot less casualties, but their economy has hardly been affected. Whereas Spain is relying on the one sided "solidarity" of the Northern European countries to bail them out, yet again.
Disappointing coronavirus news on Monday, 5 people aged 90 to 100 died from Corona... While 1 000 000 are in complete lockdown. My two friends had Corona, they lost the taste for food and had fever for 1 week. Lock the elder, let the younger people live their lives...
