In recent days, drug company announcements about vaccines have shed some light on the second wave of the

coronavirus

.

The President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, has announced that, together with Germany, Spain will be the first country in the European Union to have a complete vaccination plan that will be approved next Tuesday in the Council of Ministers.

According to the plan, to which EL MUNDO has had access, health personnel and the elderly in residences will be the first to receive the vaccination.

Meanwhile, it seems that this second wave is apparently still subsiding in

Spain

.

This is demonstrated by the number of infections that, in line with the previous days, is below 20,000, specifically

15,156 positives

in 24 hours.

Deaths, however, are on the rise again, 328 compared to 252 yesterday.

On the other hand, the Community of

Madrid

has already made a decision for the Constitution Bridge with the aim of halting the advance of the

coronavirus

: the region

will

be

closed on the perimeter

not only on public holidays but from 00:00 on December 4 until 12:00 00.00 hours on December 14.

In total 10 days, the

longest

perimeter closure

of this second wave.
