Nearly 74,000 citizens in the Region were infected with COVID-19 from February to June 2020, 40,000 of whom were admitted to hospital, over 3,000 were admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and 8,747 died, according to the [https://cnecovid.isciii.es/covid19/#documentaci%C3%B3n-y-datos Instituto de Salud Carlos III] (ISCIII), which was the institution in charge of gathering data on COVID-19 for the whole country. Therefore, the number of deaths in the Region accounted for almost 30% of the total amount of deaths in the country (29,757 deaths were registered nationwide according to ISCIII, 2021), despite the fact that only 14% of the national population lives in the Region of Madrid (Comunidad de Madrid). It shall be noted, however, that these figures show only COVID-19 cases confirmed by a laboratory test, but the real amount of people infected remains unknown as mass diagnostic testing was not being carried out at the time.
