ARCHIVED - Mazarrón day centres for the elderly closed following detection of Covid case
Visits to the residencias in the municipality are also being suspended
Earlier this week the Post Offices in the municipality were temporarily closed after Covid tests on two staff in the Mazarrón office yielded positive results.
All staff were tested and premises thoroughly disinfected as a precautionary measure although there is little reason for members of the public to be too concerned as screens are installed in all offices and precautionary measures taken to protect the public from contacts.
On Wednesday evening the weekly data published by the regional Health Ministry indicated that two positive cases had been detected within the municipality during the last 2 weeks, and that there was one further positive remaining in the municipality diagnosed prior to this date but in isolation.
All positives have been quarantined as have staff in the post offices concerned until test results confirm negative.
The Director General of the IMAS, the Murcian institute of Social Action has now decreed that the day centres for the elderly and for those with disabilities in the municipality be closed, the centros de día para personas mayores y con discapacidad de Mazarrón, and that both visits to, and new admissions to, the care homes for the elderly in the municipality be temporarily suspended, according to La Verdad. No direct communication has been received from the council.
This is due to the detection of a positive covid case within the close family of one of the carers and is a preventative measure as the elderly are more prone to suffer serious cases than the younger members of the population.
As normal, the regional government continues to reiterate that the wearing of masks in ALL public places is mandatory for the protection of the general public and to halt the spread of the virus.
