The Govern has asked the central Executive to change the phase, from zero to 1, to the health regions of Girona, Lleida and Central Catalonia (with the area of Equalizer, confined to the beginning of the pandemic, included). He is left out, therefore, and for the second week, Barcelona and its urban continuum. As announced by the ‘counselor’ of Salut, Alba Vergès, the regions proposed for the change of scale host a volume of population, and a possible mobility, “quite manageable”, in reference to the eventual tracking of contacts in case of regrowth of the infections The “consellera” was confident that the proposal would have the “placet” of the Government. The date on which this phase change would occur, whether or not it would be next Monday, May 18, did not close, but in any case “it should not go much further.”
Vergès added, but without specifying, that work was continuing to draw up an immediate intermediate proposal for the metropolitan conurbation that would represent an advance in the lack of control, but without the phase change. The Barcelona continuum is divided into three health areas, that of the capital’s municipality and the north and south metropolitan areas, which make up 66% of the Catalan population. “The mobility that is generated is a great risk,” said the owner of Salut.
“The period of lack of confidence will be long,” said Vergès, who did not rule out the end of making different proposals for the three metropolitan regions.
On Central Catalonia, Vergès said that the impact of the pandemic is one thing, which has been strong in Anoia, Bages and Berguedà, the three regions that are part of this health region, and the other, the records of the last 14 days. , and that of the last seven, which are what make the phase change possible.
