A birthday party causes a new outbreak in Cantoria
Health is on alert for the celebrations and asks that they be told where and with whom it has been held
Social gatherings in which security measures are not maintained are now one of the biggest concerns that the Almeria Health delegation has in order to curb the fifth wave of the coronavirus, which for two days this weekend has seen more than 200 positives, something that had not happened since last April.
The provincial delegate of Health, Juan de la Cruz Belmonte, pointed out that the large number of celebrations are leaving new positives for Covid, as already happened a few weeks ago in Tíjola, where over fifty cases were associated with the same outbreak, he also added that those involved in them "often do not tell the truth."
"As a result of a birthday, an outbreak has originated in Cantoria and it already affects other municipalities such as Antas, but everything indicates that it will continue to rise during the next few days in the Almanzora region," says Belmonte, who emphasizes that Health professionals who are in charge of epidemiological tracing are currently encountering many complications to detect outbreaks because people who are involved in them hide information that is essential for tracing out of fear.
"Now we are seeing that many people do not want to say where they have been or if they have participated in a party, but we do not judge that, we simply need the information so that Health professionals can make the corresponding scans ," says Belmonte, who asks for collaboration to the citizens of the province to stop the new wave.
