Recovered patients are typically not included among the currently infected cases. "Infected" usually refers to individuals who are currently carrying the infection, while "recovered" refers to those who were infected but have since recovered and are no longer considered infectious. However, in some cumulative statistics, the total number of infected cases may include both current and recovered patients to reflect all who have ever been infected.
Supplementary notes
Starting from March 14, 2022, the frequency of publishing coronavirus data in Spain changed to twice a week instead of Monday to Friday. Since October 10, 2022, the publication became weekly. From March 21, 2022, the publication frequency changed to once every two weeks. This is provided that the epidemiological situation remains without significant changes.
* Data updated at 14:00 Peninsula time.
** This report was prepared, until May 10, 2020, with data reported daily in aggregate form by the autonomous communities. On May 11, 2020, the new strategy for diagnosis, surveillance, and control in the transition phase of the COVID-19 pandemic came into effect, whereby the autonomous communities must report confirmed cases individually and daily at the national level.
*** The Autonomous Community of Catalonia has eliminated duplicate cases. These duplicates were generated when updating information of cases already registered in the SiViEs computer system with a different identification code than originally assigned. The data series have been corrected accordingly.
**** Navarra corrected its data on Friday, July 22, by excluding diagnoses from antigen self-tests. Therefore, the total number of cases is lower than the figure published on that day.

COVID-19 confirmed cases in Spain from 2020 to 2023
Spain is one of the main European hotspots of the Wuhan coronavirus, due to the rapid spread within its borders. Since the appearance of the first two cases on February 12, 2020, the number of confirmed cases has only increased at such a speed that the government of Pedro Sánchez was forced to declare a state of health emergency in the country on March 14, 2020, when there were more than 5,700 affected in Spain. As of June 30, 2023, as this statistic shows, there are around 13.9 million people with COVID-19 in Spain.
The first suspected cases were officially announced by the World Health Organization on December 31, 2019, following the appearance of this new coronavirus about three weeks earlier in one of the markets in the Chinese region of Wuhan, from which it took its name. Meanwhile, in Spain, the first person affected by COVID-19, a German tourist in La Gomera, was confirmed at the end of January 2020.
