Costa del Sol closer to Phase 1 of de-escalation as it celebrates three consecutive days of no Covid-19 fatalities or patients needing ICU
Costa del Sol’s Malaga is getting closer to achieving ‘Phase 1’ status of the country’s de-escalation plan as it celebrates three consecutive days of no coronavirus (Covid-19) related deaths or patients needing intensive care unit (ICU) treatment, as a result of the disease.

THE Covid-19 death toll in the province stands at 261. The number of coronavirus-related hospitalisations are also on their way down. Right now there are around 109 people in hospital recovering from the disease in Malaga (compared to around 396 a month ago on April 4), of which 21 are in ICU, compared to 56 just two weeks ago.

This is a good sign as it shows that the province is getting closer to achieving ‘Phase 1 status’ of de-escalation, as having fewer patients in ICU is one of the key markers to having more lockdown restrictions lifted.
