In the case of Andalusia, it is also adjusting its figures and has reclassified 69 cases as confirmed by antibody tests, which are included in the latest reports as confirmed by PCR, although, according to Health, the adjustment already appears in the report this Sunday. .

The director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simón, acknowledged this Friday that there were two communities, which he did not specify, with which there was "some discrepancy" in the notification of cases, although he hoped to correct it "shortly" .
