A new limitation on private transport in the region confirms only members of the same household may share vehicles.
The new “red alert” for “extreme risk” of contagion with Covid-19 in Calasparra comes with a recommendation to self-isolate at home and only go out when strictly necessary.
Readers are reminded that they may only socialize with members of their household, in private or public.
Masks are obligatory and must also be worn during sports activities.
The pressure on regional hospitals is reported to be “unsustainable” and all non-urgent operations were cancelled earlier this week.
Please take extreme precautions to avoid spreading contagion and help curb the upward spiral of deaths and hospitalizations.
