On this occasion, the service reports that the number of clinical discharges remains the same as that announced on January 3, that is, 230. It should be noted that Health and Social Security are trying to contact the families of patients who have already been discharged in order to free up beds for patients who are arriving at the hospital and who need to be admitted.
