On Wednesday morning a meeting of the Covid Monitoring Commission for the Murcia Region reviewed data gathered during the last 3 days and decided that Totana should remain in phase 1 in order to continue limiting the spread of the virus within the municipality.

Totana was confined on 23rd July following a major outbreak related to the Pub Dubai, a popular bar frequented principally by younger members of the Latin-American community.

The number of active cases in Totana has declined significantly from 136 to 82 during the last week as some patients recover from the virus, but the situation is described as "delicate" and with the virus and outbreak still active within the municipality, the decision has been taken to maintain the phase 1 restrictions for a further week.

In the last 24 hours, 16 new cases have been detected, indicating that the virus continues to circulate.

The movement restrictions in and out of the municipality will continue, although residents are permitted to move around within the boundaries of the municipality.

The situation will be reviewed next week when the committee meets again.
