Direct Latest news of the coronavirus in Spain
Covid-19 The complaint for the death of elderly people infected with coronavirus in several residences in Madrid is filed
Carolina Darias reported this morning to the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (CISNS) of the new Health recommendations to protect nursing homes in the current context of community transmission due to the fifth wave of Covid-19.
Although the numbers of deaths from coronavirus in residences are much lower than those registered a year ago thanks to the high vaccination rate among workers and residents, the Ministry considers it essential to promote immunization among those who chose not to be vaccinated, as well as to know the reasons for rejection. In addition, it proposes to
carry out daily temperature controls and Acute Infection Detection Tests (PDIA) at least twice a week to working personnel who have not been immunized
(their change of job may also be assessed).
Regarding the
residents who have been vaccinated or who have had the disease in the last six months,
each autonomous community will assess whether or not they should have PDIA when entering or leaving the center after a prolonged absence, and provided that the situation is of high community transmission.
In these high-risk scenarios, according to the Ministry, the competent authorities could implement
other recommendations on the regimes of visits and exits from the centers
(duration of
visits
, need or not for supervision, number of visitors allowed ...).
The document presented by Darias also states that, at this time,
the non-pharmacological measures to prevent contagion that were already being carried out, and that affect both vaccinated and unvaccinated residents
, will
be maintained.
They will be able to relax in situations of low community transmission and if visitors are vaccinated.
Finally, the minister recalled that those
residential workers who have received the complete schedule
of the anticovid vaccine
will be exempt from quarantine,
even when it is considered close contact.
