The Regional Government prohibits nightlife inside premises. This measure was adopted today at the meeting of the Covid-19 Monitoring Committee, after analysing the epidemiological situation in the Region with the study of confirmed cases in recent days. Yes, terraces or outdoor areas will be allowed in this type of establishment, where clients must be seated keeping safety distances.

In addition, the Monitoring Committee has established the limitation of the number of people in meetings of all kinds to 15 and the closure of day centres in Totana and Cieza. Visits to relatives in residences in Murcia (City), Totana and Cieza will also be restricted.

These are measures that will be reviewed and evaluated to verify their effectiveness. "We must adopt different measures depending on the outbreak, its speed of spread and whether there is community transmission without established transmission chains," explained today the Minister of Health, Manuel Villegas.

The Regional Head of Health indicated that the epidemiological situation today "is worrisome because of the start of community transmission among a sector of the population that is already affecting other sectors".

In this sense, Villegas recalled that those who have been to the Atalayas and Totana leisure venues which were closed this month must remain in quarantine and make an appointment with Covid call centre through the Patient Portal or by telephone.
