The men of the army, who started providing support tasks in the homes for the elderly in Spain, discovered the bodies of a number of these centers for the dead who remained in the owners' rooms alongside their residents.
Those bodies - which were announced by Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles in an interview with private television channel Tele Cinco - were found in a number of nursing homes in different regions of Spain.
In these centers, there was an almost complete absence of staff, and there were incapacitated elderly people with no one caring for them, after the Coruna virus began to spread among the employees, without specifying the whereabouts of these centers in Spain.
It should be noted that the situation of the elderly care homes called the central government a day ago to order the direct intervention of the army, in an attempt to alleviate the crisis.
Open an investigation
The Chief of Defense Staff announced today, Monday, the presence of the army in 74 centers, 14 of which are in Madrid, which is considered one of the largest hotbeds of death for the elderly in general.
Sources from the Spanish Public Prosecution said that the Public Prosecution Service has already ordered the investigation of possible crimes in some of these cases, and that it will conduct a thorough investigation in all cases to determine the responsibilities of the negligence that has caused the death of many.
It should be noted that the army's tasks are limited to providing support in the disinfection operations of the elderly care centers, but it will now protect those places where the safety of this social service is at risk or becomes impossible due to the absence of employees, to ensure the implementation of the preventive measures, health measures and necessary isolation measures.
The care centers for the elderly will have to inform the government delegates in the various regions and social affairs departments of the regional governments, to provide urgent assistance to them in case they are needed. To go to this unit.
