The Mossos d'Esquadra control accesses to the Barcelona municipalities of Igualada, Vilanova del Camí, Santa Margarida de Montbui and Òdena, which since this past midnight have been confined by order of the Generalitat to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The Catalan police have cut off all entrances to these towns, where some 70,000 people live, and carry out a thorough control of the vehicles that want to enter or leave.

Within the confinement perimeter, citizens will be able to move, but the Government asks the people affected to minimize their activity in order to stop the escalation of coronavirus cases as soon as possible, which especially affects the Igualada Hospital.

The Generalitat recommends that residents remain in their homes until the end of the affectation, a measure that will be in force for at least fourteen days or until a new resolution is enacted that modifies or renders it ineffective.

The Catalan government made the decision last night to confine the area after detecting an outbreak of coronavirus in the Hospital of Igualada that has caused three deaths and fifty infected, of which thirty are health professionals.

The Minister of Health, the Alba Vergés, has stressed that the supply of food and other products in the region will be guaranteed, as well as the provision of essential services.

In case of not obeying the decreed confinement, the sanction provided for in the Civil Protection Law can amount to up to 60,000 euros, according to sources from the executive
