Why does Spain not report coronavirus data during weekends?

Question

Accepted Answer

Spain's Weekend Coronavirus Data Reporting Practice

Spain does not report its coronavirus data during the weekend. This reporting practice means that official figures on new cases and deaths are typically released on weekdays.
Data Reporting Schedule

Health ministry data released on a specific day reflects the cumulative total and any increases since the last reported figure. For example, data shown yesterday would encompass cases and deaths recorded from Friday onwards.
Weekend Reporting Absence

The absence of weekend reporting means that a significant number of new cases and deaths may accumulate before being officially announced at the start of the following week. This is a consistent practice, with no data being published on Saturdays and Sundays.
Stabilisation of Case Numbers

While weekend reporting is absent, the data has indicated a stabilisation in new case numbers. The peak of daily cases was observed on September 18, with 16,000 recorded on that single day.
