There has been some discrepancy between separate health ministry reports of this test rate. A more reliable figure for Friday, therefore, was 33.3% and not 24.05%, which was given on the ministry's general report for the day.

The seven-day cumulative incidence in the Balearics remains 848.3. The 14-day cumulative incidence is down from 2248.1 to 2158.9. In Mallorca this is 2134.7, down from 2220.6; Minorca 2489.5, down from 2641.1; Ibiza 2157.1, down from 2232.1; Formentera 1377.7, down from 1402.9.

Since the start of the pandemic, there have been 153,645 cases in the Balearics. The number of deaths - 1,072 - remains unchanged.
