The Generalitat of Catalonia would be considering selective confinements in Lleida after the outbreaks detected. This was confirmed this Thursday afternoon by the director of the Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simón, during his appearance at the Ministry of Health.

"I know that the Generalitat is considering it. It has to be applied with great care, but in the current situation it is better to overreact than to fall short : I know that they are evaluating it," said Simón after explaining that there are currently 58 active outbreaks of coronaviruses in Spain of which two are especially concerned. "Not so much," he continued, "because they are not controlled, but because of the way in which they have been produced," since it is a matter of suggesting imported labels between autonomies , of Spaniards who have traveled to other communities for leisure or for visit relatives.

Regarding the outbreak in Bajo Aragón, Simón said he is under control "thanks to the actions of the Government of Aragón who" have not shaken their hands when acting. "

Future measures to contain the outbreaks of the pandemic could be different depending on the affected spaces . The director of the CCAES has explained that the Government is studying what is the best legal tool to protect the population in case more drastic measures have to be taken. Among them, the possibility of applying the state of alarm to specific territories and also specific measures for large cities are being studied . "The same indications cannot be applied in places like Madrid or Barcelona as in a small town, because the risks are different," he said.

With the idea of ​​selective confinements hovering over all the questions, Simon explained that the case of Germany explains the situation well "because there the Landers are also autonomous, hence why Germany recommends [selective confinements] but does not dictate them because they cannot do it "Simón has said to explain that after the State of Alarm, the Spanish central government would find itself in a similar situation.

However, for days the possibility of a document that combines common criteria for deciding on selective confinements has been under consideration. "That document is not yet finished. The autonomies already know what the plan is. But a discussion process is lacking," acknowledged the director of the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies.

As he explained in a generic way, "this kind of documents are always based on previous documents, but in a different situation they must be adapted and they will also have to be adapted to what we have experienced. Tolerance to measures now, for example, is different after what we have lived through, They are documents that are discussed in the Public Health Commission, in technical bodies, in the Public Health Commission .... All these decisions will be highly agreed . " Simón has admitted that it has not been evaluated if that document would be public, although personally he has been favorable.
