In the last few days COVID infections and positive tests are being reported from various parts of Camposol, it is imperative that the safety measures are adhered to at all times, this includes the correct wearing of masks to cover both the mouth and nose, social distancing, use of hand sanitisers and when shopping to use the disposable gloves provided when handling fresh produce.

Anyone who has the symptoms (a high temperature, a new continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste) or takes a COVID test which gives a positive result should self-isolate immediately and phone Murcia Salud (Regional Health Authority) on 900 12 12 12 where further instructions will be given in English if required, there may be some recorded messages in Spanish at the beginning of the call but do not hang up as an operator will answer if unsure say “Habla Ingles” and the operator will speak English or transfer the call to an English speaker, it is ESSENTIAL that the instructions given are followed to prevent further spread of infection.

With Christmas festivities on the way it is also important that meetings and get-togethers are enjoyed in a responsible manner observing safety measures where required.

Murcia and Mazarrón are suffering a setback in infections currently so it is in everyone’s interest to practice responsibility and common sense to avoid a return to more stringent measures.
