Andalusia is considering new restrictions as of January 10 due to the increase in coronavirus infections: {Translated from https://sevilla.abc.es} Updated: 01/04/2021 20:57
The counselor of the Presidency, Public Administration and Interior, Elías Bendodo, has not ruled out new restrictions to stop the expansion of the coronavirus as of January 10, after the Christmas period, always in accordance with what the expert committee decides, which will meet two days before, and according to “proportionate decisions”.
This has been indicated by Bendodo, to questions from journalists in Sierra Nevada, where he stressed that the Board has tried that these measures prioritize health and the least impact possible on the economy, as well as its concern about the “growth” of infections by covid-19 “in the last days.”
The Board will continue to work along the same lines, based on the opinion that is emanating from a committee of experts made up of professionals “with names and surnames”, who are the ones who “make the decisions” that “the Government of Andalusia assumes as its own”, explained the also spokesman for the regional Executive.
Thus, based on what is stipulated in the meeting of this committee scheduled for January 8, the Board will choose to maintain, relax or tighten the restrictions, although it will also continue to analyze the evolution of the pandemic on a daily basis.
Regarding the estimation of the evolution of vaccines, the Board estimates that can be 900,000 injected in 12 weeks, about 70,000 each week, although Elías Bendodo has indicated that Andalusia “has the capacity” to carry out a vaccination campaign “more Intensive with the relevant staff and centers enabled.
To do this, it has asked the central government to approach the European Union and the laboratories so that it can multiply the arrival of vaccines to the community, and thus activate a” faster “campaign with which immunize the population “as soon as possible.”
It is planned, Bendodo has indicated, that this Monday some 70,000 vaccines will arrive in Andalusia that, like the previous ones received, will begin to be distributed throughout the eight provinces . The counselor has once again emphasized the Board’s claim that in June around 50 percent of the Andalusian population will be vaccinated.
