In the middle of the vacation season
Corona cases are piling up on Mallorca
Corona cases are on the rise on the Balearic vacation island of Mallorca - particularly popular with Austrians, Brits and Germans. "The disease is currently widespread on the islands - and the trend is still rising," reports the Ministry of Health.
Major events are thought to be the trigger for the rising numbers. For example, 65,000 spectators attended the "Mallorca Live Festival".
Infection peak expected
The new Covid variant "KP.2" is also said to be influencing the rising number of cases. The "FliRT" variant is said to be responsible for around 15 percent of cases. However, the peak of infections is expected to be reached soon.
Just a few weeks ago, the incidence on the Balearic Islands was 28 cases per 100,000 inhabitants - which was rather low. Now, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) estimates the incidence in the population at 500 cases per 100,000 people.
Last year, there was also an increase in coronavirus cases during the vacation season.
