THE latest COVID-19 new case figures in the Valencian Community have gone down today(April 9) both on a weekly and a day-to-day basis.

The health ministry say that 173 new coronavirus cases have been detected since yesterday evening’s update, a fall of 138 over 24 hours, and 33 less than last Friday.

Hospitalisations stand at 377, two less than yesterday, and 27 less than on April 2.

74 patients are in ICUs, which is a fall of two over 24 hours, and 20 less on a week-to-week analysis.
