The mayor Carlos González received the news that Elche does not go to the next phase of desiccated as a jug of cold water. “I confess my greatest concern for the news, I can not say anything else.”
González adds: “I am not able to understand the reasons why our health department, Elche and our environment, have not gone to Phase 1 of the de-escalation. Since we have had data by health departments, we have informed citizens of the evolution of the epidemic in the city, ”added González.
“Today, the essential parameters, transmitted, entered in the ICU, available hospital beds or ICU beds, are among the best in the Community. And specifically, the two health departments, the General Hospital and the Vinalopó, are the only ones in the Community that have a death rate of only one digit, 7.10 and 5.10, respectively, “explains the person in charge of the Municipal Government Team.
Carlos González, before this panorama has required Health to give precise explanations in this regard, fundamentally, to try to influence the factors or parameters in which it is necessary to influence in order to advance as soon as possible.
Crevillent
The rest of the mayors of the region have spoken in the same sense. José Manuel Penalva de Crevillent he said he is going to demand explanations too to the Ministry and the Ministry of Health, after learning the news that the Elche-Crevillent health area will not go to the next phase, scheduled for next Monday, the 11th, and will remain in Phase 0.
“According to the health authorities of the Vinalopó Hospital and the Health Department we are in the last section of the epidemiological curve and the rates of infection, admitted to the ICU and available beds, as well as the mortality rate, are among the best in the Valencian Community, meeting with a risk far below that of other departments such as Elda, Alcoy or Torrevieja, that yes they have passed to the following phase ”, points the mayor.
“We do not see any apparently reasonable explanation for why we do not go to Phase 1, so we asked them to inform us and explain why they made this decision.”
“We have asked the Commissioner of the Ministry of Health at the Vinalopó Hospital to provide us with the explanations that the Ministry has given us to leave us out and the data that the Ministry of Health has raised about our department with the Ministry of Health. We also demand to know the figures of our municipality and we consider that the health authorities of the Ministry should go out to give public explanations to the municipalities of our department, “says José Manuel Penalva.
This new scenario forces the City Council to paralyze all the measures that were planned for the next few days such as the expansion of face-to-face services, the opening of some municipal facilities, or the expansion of the occupation space of the public road for the terraces of restaurants, cafes and bars. Which, along with shops and other sectors, were already preparing for the first phase of the de-escalation and will be harmed by this fact.
“The majority of the people of Crevillent, and the City Council itself, have strictly followed the indications that the health authorities have set for us, so now it is their responsibility and duty give us the appropriate explanations for why we have stayed in this phase. We want to know why, if we were prepared, we have not changed phases. I think that the Crevillent and Crevillent women deserve at least a detailed clarification and, therefore, we hope that we will be provided with the pertinent information and as accurately as possible, not only in order to understand this decision, but also to be able to act and adopt the necessary measures with the aim of evolving to the next phase and start with the economic reactivation as soon as possible ”, concludes Penalva.
