63 deaths were reported today, which takes the pandemic total to 6,553.
Hospitalisations stand at 1,351, a fall of 121 in 24 hours, and 630 less than on February 17.
Three weeks ago hospital admissions stood on 4,083.
Intensive care patients now stand at 318, a drop of 26 in a day, and 118 less over a week.
18 new outbreaks were registered in the Valencian Community with seven in Valencia Province; ten in Alicante Province; and just one in Castellon Province.
