.

The news set off all the alarms and the rumors of a possible extension of this measure to all of Spain began to sound in every corner.

The Minister of Health,

Salvador Illa

, confirmed just a few minutes ago after the Council of Ministers the reduction of quarantines,

but only for close contacts that have not tested positive

, a measure that is scheduled to be adopted this afternoon.

As Illa has detailed "right now what is approved in the protocols that are the subject of discussion in the presentation of health alerts and emergencies and that are validated by the Public Health Commission is that in the case of people positive by PCR, quarantines They can occur within 10 days if the last 3 days do not show symptoms and if not a quarantine of 14 days has to be done ".

Quarantines for these people who have tested positive will not change

.

However, those with close contacts will.

The Health Minister explained that "in the case of people who are close positive contacts, that is, they are healthy people who have not tested positive PCR but are close contacts, as agreed, they can now reduce their quarantine to 10 days if that tenth day they do a negative PCR. What is currently being discussed in the Public Health Commission is, in the case of close contacts, to reduce the quarantines to 10 days

without the need for a negative PCR

. "

The measure is expected to be approved this afternoon

: "The information I have is that there is a broad and unanimous agreement of the autonomous communities to adopt this decision and it is most likely that it will be adopted, but I cannot give absolute confirmation. Indeed Speaking yesterday with the Secretary of State and Dr.

Simón
