Situation of the Comarcal del Noroeste Hospital
The mayor has reported that currently there are four people admitted for coronavirus at the Comarcal del Noroeste Hospital in Caravaca de la Cruz, according to data provided by the health authorities late on Sunday, March 22.
José Francisco García has expressed that "we are totally normal in the hospital at the moment, the situation could worsen, but at the moment we are sending this message of tranquility to the population."
Likewise, it has shown its maximum concern about the lack of sanitary protection material in residences, hospitals, pharmacies, shops and other centers and places where they are necessary.
"What concerns us most is the protection of personnel who are working in health centers, pharmacies, nursing homes, cleaning, etc.. If we do not protect our first soldiers, we will hardly face this battle," he added.
In this sense, the mayor thanked the caravan industry, coordinated through the Calzia Footwear Businessmen's Association, for the donations they are making of protection material, especially masks and gowns, which are being distributed in health centers.
Industrial activity closure request
José Francisco García has asked, out of loyalty to higher administrations, the cessation of all industrial activity that is not of primary necessity.
"It is a palpable and manifest concern among the population. In Italy they have had to do it and it is about anticipating events, since the bosses are almost copying themselves. Right now the priority is the health emergency, the health of our neighbors and avoid the collapse of our health system. Then we will worry about the very serious economic crisis that we will have to deal with, "argued the mayor.
Collection of pensions for the elderly
José Francisco García explained that one of the things that also concern older people is the collection of pensions.
The mayor explained that he has contacted several banks and they recommend making use of digital channels these weeks.
In the case of not having these channels, they ask, as far as possible, that the children go to the offices to take out the pensions to avoid going out on the streets to the elderly.
When the money is withdrawn, they ask to do it in large amounts so that they do not have to go to the offices in successive times.
Likewise, the entities have reported that they are processing cards completely free of charge and have established protocols for accessing the physical offices, organizing queues on the street, keeping security distances and attending only urgent cases in person.
