As the level of contagions for Covid-19 continue to increase both nationally and in the region, the regional government will decide on Monday whether to take more drastic measures over the festive period to try and halt a third wave of the virus.
Central Government has invited regional governments to take the necessary measures to halt the spread of the virus, depending on the situation in their province.
The high incidence in Yecla (967), Caravaca (904) and Alhama (693) are raising concerns that it may be necessary to prohibit travelling between the 45 municipal areas.
