Q & A Guide to confinement in Madrid: what can I do and what not from this Saturday?
The pulse between the
Community of Madrid
and the Government of
Pedro Sánchez
regarding the response to the second wave of
coronavirus
has given Saturday afternoon a new twist of the screw.
The
National Court
has upheld the appeal filed by the Madrid regional government and gives the
State Attorney
ten days to

the requested precautionary measures,
which consist of the suspension of the Health order.

8.35 A study indicates that immunity against the coronavirus could even last a lifetime
Seasonal colds aren't fun, but new research suggests that colds that have been overcome in the past may provide some protection against
coronavirus
.
The study, whose author is an expert in infectious diseases at the
Medical Center of the University of Rochester
(
United States
), also suggests that the immunity of the
coronavirus
is likely to last a
long time, even a
lifetime.
The study, published in the journal
mBio
, is the first to show that the virus that causes
Covid-19
,
SARS-CoV-2
, induces
memory B
cells, long-lived immune cells that detect pathogens, create antibodies to destroy them. and remember them for the future.
The next time the pathogen tries to enter the body, those memory B cells can spring into action even faster to clear the infection before it begins.
Since memory B cells can survive for decades, they could protect
coronavirus
survivors from
subsequent infections for a long time, but further research will have to confirm this.

Beyond the ten Madrid municipalities affected by
restrictions
since Friday, including the capital, from this Monday there will be three basic health areas of
Madrid
with very similar measures to try to contain the
coronavirus
, with the difference that in these places the parks must remain closed.
The entrances and exits in ten municipalities of the
Community of Madrid
, including the capital, are restricted for at least 14 days from this Friday at 10:00 p.m., when new limitations were also implemented on the capacity and commercial and hospitality hours.
On the other hand, the regional government has decided to apply restrictions in basic health areas with less than 100,000 inhabitants but with a high incidence of the virus, which is why it has decided to extend from this Monday and for at least fourteen days the limitations that already existed in
Reyes Católicos
(
San Sebastián de los Reyes
) and
Humanes
and apply them also in
Villa del Prado
.

New turn of the screw in the capital of
France
: given the progression of the
coronavirus
epidemic
, the government could announce this Sunday the closure of bars in
Paris
next week.
Restaurants still hope to escape thanks to a reinforced sanitary protocol.
The latest data from the

In the case of the duel at the Gran Canaria Arena, it is because of a positive that belongs to a local player, whose identity has not been revealed, while in the other game it is due to a third case in the Blaugrana coaching staff after the new tests to which the squad and the 'staff' were submitted after the confirmation on Saturday of the positives of Sarunas Jasikevicus and his assistant Darius Maskoliunas.
