The Minister of Health has warned that the cases of coronavirus related to family and friends gatherings have multiplied

August 07 from 2020 - 09: 13

The Minister of Universal Health and Public Health, Ana Barceló, has appeared this Thursday at a press conference to explain the latest data on the incidence of coronavirus in the Valencian Community.

Barceló has announced that a series of measures have been adopted for those homes for the elderly that are located in health departments or municipalities where the pandemic has a greater incidence. In this way, visits and outings will be limited, a decision that "will always be justified by an epidemiological report and a resolution will be approved in each of the centers where the study indicates that such visits must be suspended."

At the same time, the councilor wanted to warn that cases of coronavirus related to family and friends gatherings have multiplied. 47,9% of the outbreaks originated in the social sphere, followed by those associated with leisure spaces (15,5%) and those associated with the workplace (15,5%). Along these lines, Barceló has highlighted that the highest number of cases belonging to outbreaks is in the age group between 15 and 34 years (54,4%), followed by the age group between 35 and 64 years (29,5 %).

On the other hand, Ana Barceló has pointed out that, with regard to data from the last month, 37,7% of the cases correspond to asymptomatic people, "which shows that both contact tracing and outbreak monitoring and positive cases are paying off ".

In addition, the councilor has reported that the age group between 20 and 29 years has been the one that has registered a greater number of positives, which has also caused that the cases are not so serious, since young people present pictures milder because, although there are exceptions, they do not usually present previous pathologies that could aggravate their state of health. Even so, 6,1% of those infected between the ages of 20 and 29 have been hospitalized and 037% have had to be transferred to the ICU. However, the highest percentage of hospital admissions continues to occur among those over 70 years of age. "For this reason," Barceló pointed out, "I want to call for caution and prudence, especially in the segment of the young population, since it is precisely that sector of the population that has become the main transmitter of new cases ".

Health requests the collaboration of the municipalities

The Ministry of Health has approached the town councils of the Valencian Community to request their collaboration so that they closely monitor family reunions and popular gatherings or events that take place in their municipalities.

In those events whose attendance is expected to exceed a participation of 50 people, the authorization will be subject to the prior disclosure by the organizers to the municipal authority. In the event that the number of 150 people is exceeded, municipal authorization will also be required, which will decide based on the epidemiological situation at the time. In addition, the organization must establish sufficient security measures in accordance with the technical specifications and requirements. In all popular events, whatever the expected influx, both in outdoor spaces and in closed places, the delimitation of the maximum space will be established with a capacity limit of 75 percent.

Likewise, the places where the participants can be located and the places that must remain free must be indicated to ensure compliance with the interpersonal safety distance of one and a half meters, except in the case of cohabitants. The use of the mask will be mandatory at all times and the organization will provide those attending with disinfectant hydroalcoholic gels.

    Ich beobachte, dass immer mehr Menschen ohne Masken in den Strassen sind, die Strände sind voll wie noch nie (ohne grossen Abstand) Wo ist die Polizeipräsenz ??? Am Anfang der Pandemie wurden wir ständig kontrolliert, was auch völlig in Ordnung war, und jetzt, wo sich Unmengen von Touristen, zum Teil sehr ignorant verhalten, nothing, nothing….
