ARCHIVED - Barcelona using Civic officers and door to door PCR testing to fight Covid
Civic officers work on the streets and beaches to raise awareness on the importance of prevention against Covid-19
Catalonia in general, and Barcelona have suffered from poor publicity in the last couple of weeks as several outbreaks have attracted international attention, leading to increased safety measures and local confinements in some areas.
Given the increase in the number of cases of Covid-19, the Barcelona city council has sent out Civic Patrols to provide information around the city’s streets, and this has now been increased to 230 people. Priority is being given to Montjuïc, L’Eixample, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Ciutat Vella, as the need for extra prevention measures was considered greater in these districts.
The task of the 230 people (information staff and civic officers) consists of informing people about the protective hygiene measures and physical distancing needed, as well as the obligation of wearing a face mask. The teams include mediators in case messages need to be given in other languages, or for situations where the risks are higher.
The presence of civic officers is being coordinated by the municipal programme Barris Bon Desconfinament, in place since the start of the lockdown exit process. Priority will initially be given to the districts identified as most in need of extra prevention measures: Sants-Montjuïc, L’Eixample, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Ciutat Vella.
PA messages used by the City Police to remind people about health and safety measures have also been updated, and cleaning services have been stepped up and adapted around primary healthcare centres, hospitals, homes for the elderly and places where local people rest and relax as well as on urban beaches.
