of Health.

Although the decree of the central government establishes that movement restrictions must be applied in municipalities that exceed a cumulative incidence of more than 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, Illa said this Tuesday that to lift the state of alarm in Madrid

"it has to lower much more (...), ideally around 100 "

20% positivity in PCR tests
