Regarding the new case of Covid-19, the President specified that she is an inhabitant of the Valles del Tuy, a nurse at a private center where people with Covid-19 are cared for. She had contact with another positive case: a brother who is also a nurse. She was transferred to the CDI de Cartanal, where she is responding to treatment.
The President explained that the number of people with a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19 being treated in their homes dropped to 16, following the order given yesterday that those who are in home isolation be hospitalized to minimize the chances that they infect their relatives. The President pointed out that some of them are refusing to be hospitalized; He asks for collaboration and calls for conscience from the relatives.

He noted that 112,512 screening tests have been carried out, through the house-by-house system carried out by the Homeland Platform. The goal is to perform a million tests during this first phase of coronavirus containment.
