What is an ‘IA-Rate’?
A cumulative incidence rate is the number of new cases of a disease divided by the number of persons at risk. It determines a person’s probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time, in this case, 14 days. The higher the number, the greater the prevalence of the disease in the community. In the case of Spain, it is determined as the number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants, based on INE population data of January 1st 2020.

What is a ‘Positivity Rate’?
The positivity rate is the percentage of people who have tested positive for COVID-19, in other words, how many of those tested were actually affected with the virus. A figure less than 5.00% is an indicator that the virus in under control.

What is ‘Fatality Rate’?
The fatality rate indicates the severity of the virus in the population. The global average for COVID-19 is around 1.61%. To put that figure into context, seasonal flu has a fatality rate of between 0.1 and 0.5%, malaria around 0.3% and measles between 1.0 and 1.3%.

What is an outbreak?
An outbreak is a sudden rise in the number of cases in which two or more people experiencing a similar illness are linked in time or place.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE

If you test positive:

Isolate yourself immediately.

If you self-tested, contact your health centre or request a ‘online coronavirus appointment’.

If you took the test in Primary Care Centre or at a sampling point, you will receive an SMS with the result and the measures you need to follow.

How long do I need to isolate?

7 days, as long as there are no symptoms in the last 3 days of isolation.
Precautions should be taken up to 10 days after the onset of symptoms or the date of diagnosis.

21 days for people with severe illness or immunosuppression.

Inform your close contacts

Positive cases should inform your close contacts.

If you are a close contact and have symptoms, you should call 900 300 555.

Only unvaccinated or immunocompromised close contacts should quarantine for 7 days.

Close contacts who don’t need to quarantine should take extreme precautions for the next 10 days, especially with vulnerable people.

Sick Leave from Work

If you have been diagnosed with COVID (using PCR or antigen test) and need to take time off work, you can apply for sick leave (‘baja laboral’) by downloading a form from the GVA website here to apply for it.

Conditions
You need to have had a positive test result recorded by the regional health department (Conselleria de Sanitat Universal i Salut Pública) and performed within the Valencian health service (primary care/health centre, doctor surgery or hospital) and in accredited laboratories or pharmacies. Details with which to apply for sick leave which will be available the day after the report of the result, i.e. if you have been diagnosed today, then you will be able to process your sick leave application from tomorrow. Self-diagnosis antigen tests performed at home must be confirmed at one of the facilities named above, otherwise they will not be valid for the application. The interval between the test result and the application for sick leave is set at five days.

IMPORTANT: To obtain temporary sick-leave, you must fill out the application form.

Procedure
After a successful application for sick leave, the National Social Security Institute (INSS) will notify the company directly of the sick leave.

Once the application has been process, statements can be download on the Electronic Health History system (HSE) here – this is accessed through the Cl@ve gateway and will be necessary to have a digital certification or Cl@ve.

When accessing the system, select [Informes HSE] and then [Incapacidad Temporal].

Vaccination FAQs

The GVA Sanidad website has created a special section to answer Frequently Asked Questions about the vaccines as well as give information about what you should know before receiving the jab.

Booster Shots

A third booster shot is being administered to the most vulnerable members of the population to significantly improve their immune response to the virus and this will be administered to people aged 70 and over, along with the flu vaccine, in local health centres and residential homes six months after their second vaccine shot. This booster will also be given to people with high-risk conditions, including receiving treatment with immunosuppressive drugs.

NEWS

The Comunidad Valenciana has received 174,330 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, an increase of 39.3% on the previous week. The doses will be allocated thus: 25,740 Castellón, 87,750 Valencia, and 60,840 Alicante. A further 190,000 doses are expected to be delivered to the region next Monday 3rd May.

The regional ministry of health has published an update on the origin of the massive outbreak at a student residence in Valencia reported on Saturday which caused more than 100 cases (89 students and staff plus 15 relatives of staff). A study has concluded that the most likely hypothesis is that initial infection occurred during the Easter holidays and it was brought back to the residence where it subsequently spread among students and staff. This rules out the origin of the outbreak being within the student residence itself. The venue has been put into isolation until May 1st.

The regional ministry of education has reported that 99.9% of the 47,000 ‘bubbles’ in publicly-funded schools in the Comunidad Valenciana attended face-to-face classes without any incidents. Of 1,845 schools in the Valencian education centre, just 22 ended the week April 19th to 23rd with a classroom confined due to positive testing.
