The 73-year-old woman affected by the first case of

the Nile virus

in Spain this year, which has been registered in the Sevillian town of Coria del Río,

died

this Friday at the Virgen del Rocío hospital in Seville.

As sources close to the family have informed Efe, the affected person has died after several days in hospital.

The Ministry of Health has indicated this Friday that the woman suffered from "

serious previous pathologies

".

He lived in the San José neighborhood of the Sevillian town, an area located near the exit of the municipality towards

La Puebla del Río

.

She is one of the

three people affected

this year by the disease, along with another neighbor from

Coria

, 69, and one from

Villamanrique de la Condesa

, 65.

Plan against mosquitoes

For its part, the City Council of

La Puebla del Río

(Seville) is waiting for the Board to respond to its demand for a specific plan against mosquitoes transmitting the Nile virus in the town's rice fields, and if this is not the case, it will be will join the

lawsuit

filed this Thursday by neighboring Coria del Río.

Sources from the City Council have informed Efe that the decision of the mayor of Coria,

Modesto González

(AxSí), who announced criminal measures against the Junta de Andalucía yesterday after the first case of the Nile virus this year in Spain

is being analyzed

and subsequently confirmed two more cases.

González accused the Ministry of Health and Families of acting with "incompetence and

negligence

, which cannot go on tiptoe," for which he announced that "extremely precautionary and criminal measures" would be carried out against the Andalusian Government.

From La Puebla del Río it has been recalled that the town has launched a plan to combat the mosquito that spreads the Nile virus on the banks of the

river and rice fields

adjacent to the urban area, at the same time that it has asked the Junta de Andalucía to "assume its powers" in this regard.

With these actions, "the mayor's commitment to act in areas that are not under municipal jurisdiction with the sole objective of protecting the health of the cigarette population and looking after their well-being is fulfilled."

However, we are waiting for the Board to pronounce itself, and if not, it has been asserted that it will go

to court

, with the same Coria model but in parallel actions.
