The British University of Oxford and the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca will continue with the tests of their vaccine against covid-19 despite the death of a volunteer who participated in these trials in Brazil.

Oxford explained in a statement, collected by the British media, that the death was the subject of a "careful evaluation" in which no elements were found that raise concerns about the safety of the vaccine.

About half of the volunteers taking part in the trials, which also take place in the UK or India, receive the experimental vaccine, while the rest are given a placebo.

6.45 Government and autonomies study today the curfew to stop the virus

The Ministry of Health and the communities will address this Thursday the update of the early response plan against the coronavirus to try to stop this second wave in a meeting in which they will put on the table the debate on the possibility of applying a curfew.

Measure that, as advanced on Tuesday, the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, would require the declaration of a state of alarm, which could "be adopted in a part of the territory or in all", although "no decision has been taken" at the moment on its implementation or on the time slot in which it would apply.

The state of alarm was one of the scenarios already contemplated in the early response plan against the coronavirus approved in July;

It was the last of three, designed for when neither the regional measures nor the coordinated actions of the Ministry had their effects to contain the spread of the virus.

The update of the plan has been undergoing review for days and its final version could be definitively approved this afternoon at the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System if it passes the filter of the Public Health Commission first, convened at 12:00 hours, sources from this department have informed Efe.
