As is evident that since last weekend only one positive case has increased in the municipality, accounting for a total of 13 cases”.

For this reason, the Mayor stressed that "it is the obligation of the Town Council to safeguard the health of our neighbours, warning non-residents that failure to comply with the restrictions on movement will be harshly punished, especially in view of the proximity of Easter" and wanted to emphasize, Once again, that “it is essential to stay at home and that we do not leave unless absolutely necessary, especially now when the number of infections seems to have stabilized and we are winning the battle against the virus. A battle that we will win if we stick together and follow the rules”.
