Concern about outbreaks in Huesca and Malaga

In Spain, 54 imported cases have been detected in the last week , 25% of the totals, highlighted Fernando Simón, director of the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies of the Ministry of Health, who has indicated that it will be inevitable that they enter cases from outside the Spanish territory.

In his appearance this Thursday, Simón recalled that " Spain has never closed its borders ; the most extreme measure was to prohibit direct flights from Italy." The epidemiologist has explained that even in the most acute period of the pandemic, returns to habitual residences and diplomatic travel were allowed, among other displacements.

According to Fernando Simón, although there are 40 active outbreaks, the ministry has its focus on 11 of them. Those of greatest concern, he said, are that of Huesca and a very recent one in the province of Malaga , with 89 cases. He also pointed out that, largely due to the diagnostic effort caused by the outbreaks, the asymptomatic cases detected already exceed 60%, "a figure that is likely to increase in the coming days."

In general terms, the director of the CCAES has highlighted that it is being achieved that only one day passes from the onset of symptoms to consultation and two days to diagnosis, compared to 15 days at the start of the pandemic in Spain.
