ARCHIVED - More than 70 percent of people with covid in the Murcia Region are under the age of 50
The average age of confirmed cases in the Murcia region is 37
73 percent of people affected by covid in the Region of Murcia are under 50 years old, the average age of confirmed cases being 37 years old, according to data from the latest weekly report of the Epidemiology Service of the Region of Murcia that was released today by the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas.
The regional minister asked residents of the region to “reflect” on this information, "as covid affects everyone and we must take extreme security measures, especially the youngest."
Villegas also insisted on "the advisability of having national criteria to face the pandemic", ( a reference to calls from the regional government for the national government to take on more responsibility for specific aspects of managing the crisis) as well as on "the importance of coordination and working together with municipalities to achieve good adherence to quarantines, which is a very complicated matter in a specific sector of the population ” (referring to a call from the regional government for legislation to be created at a national level to help regional governments enforce quarantines).
From today onwards, the period of mandatory quarantine for those who are close contacts of covid cases has been reduced from 14 to 10 days, in the hope that this will encourage more people to complete the quarantine period, as significant numbers have been reportedly breaking their quarantine period, as they have failed to show any symptoms during the first few days.
Anyone diagnosed with covid, must still complete the full 14 day period.
The regional minister also referred to the use of the new antigen tests for diagnosis, both in people with symptoms and in asymptomatic cases.
The use of these tests, he explained, “will allow us to do many more tests in the face of the foreseeable increase in the coming months due to the increase in respiratory infections such as influenza and, in turn, be able to give a better response in specific environments such as educational centers and in the business environment ”.
