During the weekends the Junta de Andalucía does not update the data by population, only by provinces, so until Monday we will not know in which municipalities so many new infections have been reported as those recovered.
Heard today that Key Workers are having their first Covid-19 Vaccination this week. Had message from Cecilia at the Pharmacy who is at Huercal Overa now with her staff.
General public vaccinations will be at the local Medical Centre, Cecilia tells me.
Texts will be sent out so it may be an idea to warn your translator if their number is on the system.
Initially it will be the over 80's being called first.
Thank you Lyn Bootle for the initial information about this.

It is false that the Andalusian Health Service is vaccinating the elderly in their homes at this time
In the current phase, people over 80 years of age are called to health centers or specially authorized places
Elderly people in Andalusia are receiving phone calls from people who claim to be workers of the Andalusian Health Service and who are trying to make an appointment with them to administer the Covid-19 vaccine at home. These are false calls, the origin of which is already being investigated by the National Police.
The Andalusian Health Service is not currently vaccinating at home. In the current phase of the Vaccination Plan, people over 80 years of age are being summoned in health centers or spaces specially enabled for it. It is not ruled out that it is possible to vaccinate at home in later phases to large dependents who cannot leave their home for health reasons, but that is not happening at this time. A scam with similar characteristics has already been detected in Cantabria.
It is also being detected in some municipalities that false health professionals are trying to access the homes of older people with the excuse of the vaccine.
These type of false messages and calls contribute to the dissemination of hoaxes, generate confusion among citizens and make it difficult for public emergency systems to act, so that their creation and dissemination may constitute a crime. From the Junta de Andalucía we want to combat hoaxes and lies that seek to confuse the population. Only with proven and truthful information can we have a freer society to think, comment and decide.
