The Ministry of Health in Spain has no plans to reintroduce mandatory quarantine for coronavirus patients
As the number of coronavirus infections continues to creep up in Spain and hospitalisations have once again begun to increase, many experts have called on the government to implement control measures to prevent the onslaught of a seventh wave. However, despite the worrying data, the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, this week reiterated that reintroducing restrictions such as Covid quarantine “is not on the table.”
However, the 7-day figure is less than half that, indicating that the prevalence of Covid is actually decreasing, not increasing.
Ms Darias added that the uptick in infections is hardly surprising given the “different festivities such as Holy Week” that have been taking place across Spain in recent weeks, and she believes that in the next few days the data will show a “trend towards a certain stabilisation.”
