    23,580 new infections and the incidence shot up to 468: "There are many cases"

The perimeter closure of the Community of Madrid began at 00:00 on Friday without security controls at the regional border with Castilla La Mancha and Castilla León.

Neither the Civil Guard nor the National Police were deployed in the limits of the Madrid province

to examine the correct passage of cars and trucks on the main highways and national roads to other provinces.

Between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 p.m.

, no surveillance point was deployed on the line that separates Madrid and Segovia,

both on the A-6 and in Alto del León.

The same happened when exiting the A-42 towards the Toledo highway and on the A-4 towards Andalusia.

Most of the vehicles on the asphalt were trucks and delivery vans.

Antonio, a press dispatcher, pointed out that throughout the night he did not find any type of surveillance either on the A-3 or on the A-2 where he usually runs his routes.

Neither did Angel Uber driver run into the Civil Guard agents until 01:30 in the morning in the confines of the Madrid province.

At a gas station on the A-6, a driver who had just entered Madrid

had doubts as to whether he was committing an illegal act

.

"I think that as long as I go through Madrid and my destination is another, nothing will happen to me," he said.

Indeed, he was right because traffic is allowed on roads and highways of the Community of Madrid, for people who do not reside in the region, as long as the origin and destination is outside of it.

The fact that the Community of Madrid decided late on Thursday afternoon to close the region's border did not allow the immediate implementation of the device envisaged by the Government Delegation.

This body pointed out, however, that if they had prepared, "even if they communicated it with a certain delay", the deployment to control the perimeter closure of the Community of Madrid that came into effect on Friday from 00.00 hours.

The idea of ​​the Government Delegation for this Friday at noon and in the afternoon is to carry out a kind of

Operation Cage

in the region that will allow to establish 24-hour controls on the six main national highways and the AP-6.

There will also be surveillance at the exits of the radials and on the secondary roads.

This task of controlling the roads will fall on the Civil Guard Traffic Group that will be deployed at the border points with Toledo, Ávila, Segovia, Guadalajara and Cuenca.

On the county roads the police control will be intermittent and accordionic depending on the needs of the service.

Also the agents of the IPU (Police Intervention Unit) of the National Police could join this task of road control.

The fines for skipping the perimeter closure could be 600 euros for both the driver and the companions

who violate the rule.

Something similar would also happen in the event that someone leaves the region on foot or by bike, breaking the rules.
