ARCHIVED - Cases in Murcia rise to 1099 with 40 new positives
Covid PCR testing points are being installed in Lorca and Murcia City and day centres for the elderly closed
The Region of Murcia is now in unchartered territory, having passed the maximum number of cases recorded during the main growth period of the pandemic at the weekend, every new case recorded in the Region a record high.
The latest figures presented on Monday relate to Sunday, and these Monday figures are usually the lowest of the week as few staff work on a Sunday, particularly in the middle of August.
The latest number of new active cases is 40, taking the active total up to 1,099.
The figures most pre-occupying the regional authorities are the growing number of hospitalisations, particularly the numbers moving into intensive care.
Although the majority of Covid cases detected at the moment are mild or asymptomatic, hence the fact that 1,033 people are in domestic isolation at home, the problem with covid as we are all too aware by now, is that although most cases are mild, when it is serious it can be very dangerous, and we now have 66 people in hospital, 11 of whom are in intensive care.
The regional government has responded to the growing number of cases by re-opening covid wards in hospitals outside of the Santa Lucia in Cartagena and Virgen de la Arrixaca in Murcia city in anticipation of increased numbers of cases.
Medical staff are now more aware of how to handle Covid patients and as a result there have been no deaths in the region for over a month, but the virus is still highly debilitating and can leave patients severely weakend and with further complications for an extended period of time, so there are still very good reasons why basic hygiene measures should be observed to prevent contagion.
The regional Covid monitoring Commission met on Monday to assess the current position and took the decisión to install a Covid Point (Punto Covid) in the barrio de El Carmen district of Murcia City followig the detection of 107 positive cases in the capital last week.
It is very difficult to control the spread of the virus in the city as there are more than half a million people living in the vast urban sprawl of the city in multiple districts and residential areas with a high incidence of mobility as residents go to work and travel around the city for business reasons.
This district is centred around the church of El Carmen and is next to the former military barracks on the opposite side of the river to the catedral.
The districts of San Andrés, Barriomar and Floridablanca are also under close observation, the greatest challenge being ensuring that those who are known to be contagious comply with the quarantine order and remain at home to prevent the spread of the virus.
Social Services and local police will be actively participating in the vigilance operation to ensure compliance, with a team from social services purchasing food on behalf of those forced to comply with quarantine orders.
As a precautionary measure, day centres for the elderly are being closed in some central districts of the city.
Totana
The situation in Totana will be further reviewed on Wednesday, but during the last week 59 new cases have been detected in the municipality, although the virus is abating.
Social services will again be collaborating with the town hall to provide services to those observing quarantine in a bid to ensure that they remain indoors for the quarantine period.
Mazarrón
In Mazarrón the situation has improved in the last few days and 30 new cases have been detected in the last week. Local police and social services are maintaining vigilance over the known positive cases, ensuring that the quarantine is maintained to limit the spread of the virus.
Lorca
63 new cases have been detected in Lorca during the last week and a Punto Covid is being installed in the pedanía del Campillo to carry out intensive PCR testing in an area with a high concentration of positives.
Puerto Lumbreras: At the moment the day centre in the municipality is closed and the outbreak focuses around a family celebration.
