The cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in Spain amounted to nearly 14 million as of May 11, 2025. Since Spain confirmed its first case, the authorities have reported approximately 122,000 deaths as a result of complications stemming from the disease, most of them in Madrid. COVID-19: background information COVID-19 is a disease caused by a novel coronavirus that had not previously been identified in humans. The first case was detected in the Hubei province of China at the end of December 2019. Multiple cases have been reported each day. At the beginning of the pandemic, few was known regarding the virus. Though some aspects still remain unclear, more information has been collected since the outbreak started, allowing a better understanding of the disease and its prevention and treatment, including the production of new vaccines. Immunization in Spain As of May 24, 2023, around 87 percent of the population in Spain had received at least one dose of a vaccine against COVID-19. Moreover, approximately 86 percent were already fully vaccinated. As of August 5, 2022, the number of pre-ordered doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country amounted to 283.3 million, more than half of which were produced by Pfizer/BioNTech.

As of June 28, 2023, the Spanish region suffering the highest number of COVID-19 cases was Catalonia, with over 2.6 million patients. The impact in the community of Madrid and Andalusia was also significant, with more than two million and approximately 1.65 million confirmed cases of the disease, respectively.

The outbreak in Spain The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Spain was documented in La Gomera, Canary Islands, at the end of January 2020. Since then, Spanish authorities have reported around 13.9 million cases and over 121,000 deaths as a result of complications stemming from the disease. Not only the highest number of cases, but also most deaths have been reported in Catalonia and the Community of Madrid.

The dataset used in the paper is the COVID-19 pandemic data from Spain, which includes the number of new infected, dead, and recovered cases.

This data provides values of the Air Quality Index (AQI) for the most populated city in each Spanish autonomous community since 2019. The compounds selected to evaluate AQI are PM10, O3, and NO2. This dataset is oriented to people that want to evaluate quarantine effects on air pollution during a COVID-19 disease outbreak. For this reason, a table with notified cases of the disease to the Public Administration at an autonomous community-scale is also supplied with the aim of providing a framework of disease evolution.

The air_contamination.csv dataset contains 9 variables:

• timestamp: date in format: yyyy/mm/dd
• ca: autonomous community (text)
• ciudad: city (text)
• pm10: AQI value of pm10 particle (number)
• pm10_level: Air quality base on pm10 particles (text)
• o3: AQI value of o3 particle (number)
• o3_level: Air quality based on o3 particles (text)
• no2: AQI value of no2 particle (number)
• no2_level: Air quality based on no2 particles (text)

The casos_covid19.csv dataset contains 4 variables:

• comunidad: autonomous community (text)
• casos: Cases notified by Ministerio de Sanidad/Healthcare minister (text)
• casos_notificados: Cases notified by RENAVE (Red Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica) a través de la plataforma SiVIES.

Context

Cumulative incidences and transmissibility indicators

The results presented in this COVID-19 Panel are obtained from the declaration of COVID-19 cases to the National Epidemiological Surveillance Network (RENAVE) through the SiViES (Surveillance System of Spain) computer platform via the Web. ) managed by the National Epidemiology Center (CNE). This information comes from the epidemiological case survey that each Autonomous Community carries out when a COVID-19 case is identified.

The COVID-19 Panel presents geographic information on cumulative incidence rates at 14 days and 7 days, for the general population and for those 65+ years of age, and indicators of the evolution of the pandemic's transmissibility. For the calculation of all the parameters, the date of onset of symptoms is used or, failing that, the date of diagnosis minus 6 days (from the start of the pandemic until May 10, 2020) or minus 3 days (from of May 11); for asymptomatic cases, the date of diagnosis is used. In those cases in which there is no date of onset of symptoms or diagnosis, the key date is used (date for statistics [It was lost to the autonomous communities to define the Key date as the date of onset of symptoms and in its absence the date of declaration to the AC, until May 10, 2020. From May 11 onwards, the Key date is the earliest of the dates of consultation or diagnosis. Occasionally it can be replaced by the date of sampling] ). Until May 10, 2020, cases diagnosed by a positive diagnostic test for active infection are included, as well as all those cases hospitalized, admitted to the ICU and deaths; As of May 11, cases confirmed by PCR, or by emergency tests, are included. The population used to calculate the incidence rates comes from the official population figures resulting from the revision of the municipal census as of January 1 of the National Institute of Statistics of 2020.

A regular update of the COVID-19 situation in Spain is carried out, after an extraction from the SiViES database from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.

The difficulties of death figures

This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.

Where are these numbers coming from?

The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.
