The provinces with the highest hospital admission rates due to COVID-19 (hospital admissions due to COVID-19 per 100,000 inhabitants) during these months were Madrid, Ciudad Real, Albacete, Soria and Segovia. This pattern matches well the distribution of cumulative incidence as the figures (between 500 and 800) were double that of the national average (232.8). The rest of the provinces of Castile and León (Castilla y León), Castile-La Mancha (Castilla-La Mancha), as well as Biscay (Bizkaia), Álava, Navarre (Navarra) and La Rioja also registered higher figures than the national average. On the other hand, these rates were lower in the coastal provinces of the North-West and South. In absolute figures, almost 40,000 hospital admissions were reached in the province of Madrid, 18,000 in Barcelona and around 3,000 in Biscay (Bizkaia), Valencia and Ciudad Real.
The cumulative number of admissions to Intensive Care Units (ICU) due to COVID-19 peaked in the province of Madrid with 3,105, Barcelona with 1,373 as well as Valencia, Alicante and Saragossa (Zaragoza) with around 300 each. In proportional terms (those admitted to the ICU with respect to those admitted to hospital due to COVID-19), the distribution was inverted with respect to the previous variable. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria stood out with the highest percentage, i.e. over 20%.
