Breaches of quarantine have become a headache for health authorities.

Infected people, waiting for the result of a

PCR

or positive contacts that do not comply with the isolation.

Non-compliances that seem to be on the rise and which the communities want to put a stop to through sanctions.

Murcia

alerted yesterday of 80 breaches registered only on Sunday, and the Government promised with the municipalities to intensify the location and making available by the security forces of the noncompliant of the quarantine.

The Balearic Islands

, given the cases detected, warned yesterday that a regulation is in force that enables the Government to impose sanctions.

Galicia

published this weekend an order that regulates the sanctions for those who fail to comply with the quarantine due to Covid-19: up to 120,000 euros.

Other communities also already contemplate a sanctioning regime in this regard.

Yesterday, the spokeswoman for the Balearic Executive,

Pilar Costa

, warned that they will study the imposition of sanctions, without calculating the amount of them, depending on the case, the danger of contagion that the offender could cause, whether he is a repeat offender ... The Balearic sanctioning regime does not speak, specifically, of not respecting isolation, but it does stipulate sanctions for those people who fail to comply with "the obligations established by the State or by the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, to face the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 ».

The fines range from 100 - minor offenses - to 600,000 euros - very serious offenses.

Galicia, the Balearic Islands,

Extremadura, Castilla y León

, Murcia and

Andalusia

have a sanctioning regime against non-compliance with the measures to alleviate Covid-19.

The communities are classifying the fines for not complying with the mandatory isolation in case of being positive for coronavirus or a contact of some infected people.

The calls to fulfill are constant in the last days.

The data that Murcia offered yesterday are clear: in this community, only on Sunday 80 breaches of the prescribed quarantine were registered.

Since the pandemic began, there have been 4,152 complaints of various breaches, according to the Minister of Health,

Manuel Villegas

.

Failure to comply with isolation in Murcia may be punished with up to 600,000 euros for non-compliance "of the repeated duty of isolation" and "when this behavior may pose a risk of contagion to more than 100 people."

In Andalusia, non-compliance with the duty of home isolation agreed by the health authority is considered a serious offense, which carries a fine of between 3,001 and 60,000 euros.
