  • Measures: The Generalitat prohibits meetings of more than 10 people in Catalonia

Quim Torra has made an appeal this Saturday to "not forget" the security measures against the coronavirus before the celebration of the main festivals in many localities these days. The reaction of the President of the Generalitat came shortly after images of crowds of hundreds of young people were disseminated on social networks, this morning, in narrow streets of Vilafranca del Penedès (Tarragona), a municipality that had suspended most of the of the acts of its traditional and massive celebration at the end of August.

It so happens that precisely today the ban on meetings of more than 10 people in Catalonia has come into force, a measure announced on Monday by the Government to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

"I know the illusion caused by the arrival of the Major Festivities of our towns, to rediscover friends and family, but I have to ask you not to forget the security measures, distance and mask. Always. At any time and in any place. Please, we will play the year in these days. Thank you, "said the president .

The Tarragona town council, through a statement, and its mayor, Pere Regull , in a video on Twitter have also asked their neighbors for caution and have shown their "dissatisfaction" with what happened. "Everyone's health is a priority and this morning has been put at risk," said the councilor.

Last week, Vilafranca was one of the Catalan towns in which the Department of Health of the Generalitat carried out massive screening due to the risk of Covid-19 outbreaks and the imminent arrival of seasonal workers for the harvest.

The notification in the last 24 hours of ten new deaths has raised the death toll in Catalonia to 13,004, both confirmed with PCR tests and suspected of Covid-19, since the start of the pandemic. On the other hand, the risk of re-emergence has stood at 197.5 points, three more than yesterday and almost double the range considered high risk (100).
