By Friday afternoon growing concern amongst the 17 autonomous regions of Spain has resulted in the regions of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Extremadura and the focal points in the Basque Country to insist on masks being worn in public at all times, both inside and out, regardless of whether there is the opportunity to social distance or not, and other regional governments are also said to be considering taking the same measure.
The situation in Catalonia, which locked down 200,000 residents on Saturday in Segriá has worsened in recent hours. The Generalitat has recorded 338 new positive cases in the Lleida health area, which is where the majority of new cases are focused. In total, Catalonia has 20 active outbreaks: 15 in Lleida, three in Tarragona, two in the Upper Pyrenees and Aran area and another registered in an agrifood company in Avinyó (Barcelona)
The latest outbreak to appear in Lleida has forced the quarantine of fifty police agents from the Mossos d'Esquadra. On Wednesday one person died in Segrià.
Galicia (Lugo lockdown)
The Xunta de Galicia has announced an increased confinement in Burela, with no movement permitted for the next five days. The residents of Viveiro, Xove, Cervo, Foz, Barreiros and Ribadeo are only permitted to move within their own municipalities.
In seven other municipalities the lockdown restrictions have been removed.
There are now 182 cases in the A Mariña outbreak in Lugo, of which the majority are asymptomatic or are mild cases, those concerned must stay in quarantine. Four more cases have been detected in Beariz, which is considered an outbreak.
The Xunta has said that no-one with symptoms or a positive diagnosis is permitted to vote in the Sunday elections in the region.
The Basque Country regional Government has also announced that Covid positives and those in quarantine will not be allowed to vote in the regional elections there either, which are also being held on Sunday.
BOAT IN ALGECIRAS IMMOBILISED DUE TO COVID CASE The Singapore registered oil tanker from New Orleans 'Bow Elm', has been immobilised in the port of Algeciras (Cádiz), as there are suspicions that one of the crew members has been infected by the Covid-19 virus.
FINES OF 100 TO 600,000 EUROS FOR FAILING TO ABIDE BY SANITARY MEASURES IN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS. The Balearic Government has approved a decree establishing fines of between 100 and 600,000 euros for failing to comply with sanitary protection measures in the region. Amongst the most serious of these is the holding of a gathering which exceeds the maximum number of people permitted, such as parties either in public or private spaces. There have been many cases of botellon drinking parties, illegal raves, groups gathering such as on the Night of san Juan and private family gatherings such as birthday parties which have lead to recent outbreaks.
REGION OF MURCIA ON FRIDAY
Friday: 79 active cases, 61 in home isolation, 18 in hospital, 2 in intensive care, 151 dead (has not changed all week). The principal source of these cases is the outbreak related to three Bolivian nationals who landed at Barajas airport in Madrid on June 3rd and later developed Covid symptoms. Due to the contacts they made there are now 54 cases directly relating to this one outbreak and one dead. 13 of the positives work at the Fruveco frozen foods plant in El Raal which is currently closed. The regional health service said on Friday that it would be testing all 150 residents of the Moratalla municipality using swab tests after six residents tested positive. One person died in relation to this outbreak in the pedanía. There are three positive cases in both Torre Pacheco and Cartagena in minor outbreaks which are now controlled.
