The positives for Covid-19 have increased in 15 of the 23 municipalities and Basic Health Zones of the Community of Madrid that remain confined precisely to try to contain the spread of the virus.

Of the eight areas in which the cumulative incidence has fallen to 14 days, only two -

General Moscardó

, in the Tetuán district of the capital, and

Mayor Bartolomé González

, in the municipality of Móstoles - are already below 400 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the threshold from

r from which the restrictions are adopted. From the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso they have appealed to the Government Delegation mainly, but also to the municipalities, on whom the local police depend, to be employed with

more "forcefulness" in the control of mobility

in all those areas that should only be entered or exited due to force majeure, such as going to work or taking care of a dependent person.

"We have shown that when acting in a surgical way, selectively, the decrease in the number of cases occurs significantly," defends the Minister of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero. Two of the Basic Health Zones where the cases have been confined for more than a month:

The morale

, in the town of Alcobendas, and

Third wave?

On average, the cumulative incidence in the Community of Madrid as a whole follows the increasing path of recent weeks and already reaches the level of

390 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

.

The Ministry of Health has not yet determined whether it is already the third wave of the coronavirus that hits the region -after those of March and April and September- or it is “a rebound due to the increase in social relations »During the Christmas holidays. The general director of Public Health, Elena Andradas, insists that

most infections occur in family settings

.

For this reason, remember that it is essential to have the mask "permanently" placed in closed spaces - except in the case of cohabitants - and only take it off to consume food or drink. According to the latest weekly epidemiological report on the situation of Covid-19 in the region , dozens of districts, neighborhoods, areas and municipalities in full in Madrid exceed the index of 400 infections per 100,000 inhabitants

from which mobility restrictions are adopted

together with stricter limits on capacity in public spaces than in the rest of the region.

In addition, to determine if selective confinements are applied, it is taken into account if the trend of the cases is stable or increasing and that the geographical limits allow the control of movements.
