The mayor of San Martín de la Vega, Rafael Martínez, has asked the Ministry of Health to investigate the transfer that the Community of Madrid made last Friday of eight elderly people who were in the "San Marcos" residence, of which five have tested positive for Covid-19 causing a "new outbreak" in the residence 'Las Vegas' in Ciempozuelos.

The councilor has asked the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, dependent on the Ministry, to inquire about said transfer of residents of the San Marcos center where an outbreak originated with more than 40 infected and one deceased. The City Council has considered that "this type of action that only leads to the spread of the virus among older people and that has caused the confinement of this residence is not normal ."

Meanwhile, two of the five elderly people who tested positive had to be admitted to the Valdemoro Hospital, as confirmed today by the Ciempozuelos Councilor for Finance and Security, Pedro Jiménez.

The mayor has detailed that at all times the five positive cases were isolated from the rest of the residents. They tested positive in PCR two days after being transferred to Ciempozuelos. One of the people who has needed hospital admission did it yesterday Sunday and the other on Saturday, he indicated.

The councilor of Ciempozuelos has sent a message of "serenity and tranquility" to the families of the rest of the residents, despite the fact that visits and activity at the day center had to be suspended , because all the people admitted to the residence " they are perfectly. "

The other three positives remain in the Ciempozuelos residence isolated, "as is done at home with anyone with coronavirus." One of those three people who did not require hospitalization has more symptoms and the other two "are fine."

For her part, the mayor of Ciempozuelos, Raquel Jimeno, yesterday regretted through a video that the Las Vegas residence, located in the municipality and so far free of Covid, has become a "new focus", which led to to be charged against the Community of Madrid for the transfer of residents from San Martín de la Vega.
