On Monday the Murcian regional government held a meeting of the regional Covid Monitoring Committee to analyse the current epidemiological evolution of the covid virus in the region.
Following the meeting, regional Minister of Health Manuel Villegas, answered questions from the media, one of which related to the confinement orders issued at the weekend in Catalonia and Lugo, Galicia.
When asked about the possibility of making a territorial confinement in the Region as has been done in these two regions, the Minister of Health answered that "there are no magic figures that tell us when to do it", as confinement can apply to a single building (as was the case last week when an apartment block was isolated and locked down) or an entire city and the number of infections, the speed and the transmission of the virus will all be factors which influence how and when that decision is made.
He acknowledged that the “Bolvian outbreak” which has resulted in 38 cases and nearly 300 quarantines in the region "has been complicated" and acknowledged that "perhaps it would have been necessary to consider confinement, but it was impossible if it affected ten municipalities."
However, he made it clear that the regional government has prepared the necessary legal documents in case a confinement becomes necessary within the Region and this can be implemented in a matter of hours should the regional government consider it necessary to do so.
Last Monday the regional president made it absolutely clear that he would not hesitate to take whatever measures were necessary to protect the population of the region from “irresponsible behaviour”.
This weekend two new foci were identified, one of them "from an incoming flight" bringing the total in the region up to four.
