The Community of Madrid will allow from this Friday to dance on the tracks of the discos and other establishments that have them. You will still have to maintain the mask, the interpersonal safety distance and you will not be able to drink on the track, although it will be possible in the premises as before.

The nightclubs in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands , two of the most touristy regions in Spain, also reopen their doors this Friday, although to enter it will be necessary to present a covid passport , a mechanism still discarded at the national level. The discotheques reopen in the pre-pandemic schedule.

Also in the Valencian Community the closing of the discos returns to the time before the pandemic . The capacity in the nightlife is also eliminated and the dance areas can be used except when it is consumed and always with a mask.

07.00. Antibody Deficiency Increases Risk Of Death In Critically Ill Coronavirus Patients

The deficit of antibodies against the coronavirus responsible for Covid-19 increases the risk of death among the most critical patients, has concluded a team of Spanish researchers, who have stressed the importance of vaccination to protect those who, against a natural infection, they have not produced enough antibodies.

Researchers have concluded that patients who have not produced antibodies against protein "S" - the protein present on the surface of the coronavirus that facilitates its attachment and entry into cells - at the time of admission to intensive care units have up to seven times more likely to die in the first 30 days after admission.

The study, whose conclusions have been published in the scientific journal Journal of Internal Medicine , is the result of the work carried out by a team of researchers within the framework of a project funded by the Carlos III Health Institute through the Covid-19 Fund.

This deficit in the production of antibodies has also been associated with an escape of antigens and the genetic material of the virus into the blood, which also translates into an increased risk of death, has reported the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) in a note released today.

"Anti-S antibodies are, therefore, essential to control the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in critical covid-19 patients", has asserted the main researcher, Antoni Torres, and the microbiologist José María Eiros has pointed out that this "Leakage" of virus material into the blood is a poor prognostic marker.
