The Government of Aragon has adopted

new restrictions due

to the rebound in coronavirus infections in the Community.

This was announced this Saturday at a press conference by the Minister of Health, Sira Repollés, accompanied by the Health Manager, José María Arnal.

The

confinement of the Community and the interprovincial continues

and the

curfew

is also maintained

, from 23:00 to 6:00.

Aragon returns to level three aggravated with the following modulations: Closing of non-essential activities at 20.00.

In hospitality: 30% indoor and

four people per table

.

On the terrace at 50% with a maximum of six people per table.

The

ban on smoking on terraces

and bar consumption continues.

In gyms, 30% indoors with open showers and changing rooms

In the culture sector, cinemas, theaters, auditoriums,

50% capacity indoors

.

Start of the activity at the latest at 8:00 p.m.

Repollés has declared that these are "tough measures and we are aware that

meetings have been held in the private and public sphere

. These dates have fostered relations with family and friends."

For this reason, he has asked that those who have maintained

social relationships during New Year's Eve to exercise caution

and not maintain social relationships the next few days.

"Let's not throw away what has been achieved so far," said the counselor.

For his part, the Health Manager, José María Arnal, has specified that "the data oblige us to take these measures.

The curve has not given respite

in recent days."

He added that "we are prepared in case there is more income. We have a cushion to assume this increase. We have to think that we are at the beginning of the year and that these

cases come from a week

or about five days ago."

Repolles has indicated that "the data will surely go up next week. We have to make it

a curve that does not reach

such high

figures

as in the other waves."

He specified that "we have a forecast of a slight increase, but

this week has been devastating

and that the figures are not adequate as it is a holiday."

Upward trend

In recent days, the incidence of the pandemic

has not stopped growing in Aragon

, despite the fact that the consequences of the New Year's Eve celebrations cannot yet be appreciated.

The trend is clearly upward, with substantial increases even before the Christmas holidays.

The data for this Saturday

reflect 153 new infections

, but they are strongly conditioned by the fact that yesterday was a holiday, which means that the work of tracking and primary care is significantly reduced

During the previous four days, between 28 and 31, 1,543 cases were reached, which represents

22% of the positives

for the entire month.

The cumulative incidence at seven days already exceeds 143 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, when before Christmas it was below 100.

To these must be added the

impact of the New Year's Eve celebrations

, which makes experts predict a new epidemic wave for the coming weeks.
