The positivity test rate is 3.08%; Monday's was 3.73%. The number of cases and the test rate on a Tuesday are more an indicator of the situation than Monday's because of the higher degree of testing. Tuesday's figures can therefore be said to be fairly encouraging. There hasn't been a test rate below four per cent on consecutive days for several weeks.

The seven-day test rate is 4.35%. In Mallorca this is 6.26%.
