    Coronavirus, last minute: 989 new cases in the last hours

The Generalitat will implement a temperature control at Catalan airports and train stations to control travelers coming from Madrid to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The President of the Government, Quim Torra, showed his support for the Community of Madrid in the face of a "critical" situation and made available to its president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the experts of the Generalitat to combat the pandemic.

However, Torra urged the president of the Community of Madrid to take "more drastic measures" such as "that no one is allowed to leave or travel to Madrid if it is not certain that it is negative" in symptoms of Covid- 19.

For the moment, the Catalan president announced these temperature controls in addition to recommending that Catalans not travel to the capital, unless for exceptional reasons.

"For me, it is not a consolation that other territories may be worse off than us," said Torra, who stressed that public parks in Catalonia could be closed if it is confirmed that the contagion index "rises above one this week" .

That is why the Catalan president asked the owners of bars to "encourage the use of masks also on the terraces or" we will have to take measures that we do not want.

Torra's warnings contrast with the decisions of the Generalitat experts.

The cultural facilities of Barcelona and its metropolitan area, such as cinemas or theaters, may increase their capacity to 70%, as ruled this Monday by the technical committee of the Catalan Civil Protection Plan (Procicat).

In this way, the Generalitat relaxes the restrictions derived from the coronavirus in the Catalan capital and 16 surrounding municipalities and that until now indicated that these facilities should have only half the capacity.

Despite this measure, the Procicat asks the cultural sector "to take extreme control in the common areas of the facilities to avoid crowds".
