In Minorca, the 14-day cumulative incidence is significantly higher than it is elsewhere in the Balearics. While the incidence for the Balearics as a whole is 248.3, in Minorca it is 444.4. Mallorca has the second highest incidence - 240.6.

Because of this higher incidence, Minorca is likely to be placed on health alert two as from next Monday. This is for the use of the Covid certificate; it doesn't entail other measures.
