The Andalusian Government has trusted this Wednesday that the provinces of Malaga and Granada are in phase 1 of the de-escalation starting next Monday and that they can move to phase 2 in about ten days, at the same time as the other six provinces that are currently in phase 1, if all the sanitary parameters allow it.
This was stated at a press conference after the Andalusian government crisis cabinet meeting, the Vice President of the Board and Minister of Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Administration, Juan Marín, and the Minister of Health and Families, Jesus Aguirre.
The Board has a “firm commitment”, according to Aguirre, so that the provinces of Malaga and Granada “pass as soon as possible” to phase 1 of the de-escalation, so that, in addition to the report sent to the Ministry on Monday of Health, this Wednesday more data has been sent again, “with diligence, seriousness and transparency”. He wanted to make it clear that everything the ministry asks for is there and all the data he claims will be sent to him.
As to whether the Board expects that Granada and Malaga, once they are in phase 1, they can advance at the same rate as the other six provinces, Aguirre has said that the Ministry of Health has not yet sent the criteria for moving to phase 2, when the proposals of the communities would have to be presented Monday of next week. It has indicated that the Board will try to Malaga and Granada they can advance to phase 2 on a par with the other six provinces.
Along the same lines, Juan Marín has spoken, who has indicated that initially, the Government’s criterion is that each territory that goes from phase zero to 1 has to be in that situation for at least two weeks, but we trust that with all health criteria that we have now both Granada and Malaga enter phase 1 from Monday and, when the move to phase 2 is considered, they can be incorporated with the rest of the communities as long as all the criteria that the Ministry of Health proposes are met.
Marín hasI wanted to make it clear that the Board At no time has he been in “confrontation or defiance” with the Government in relation to the de-escalation process, but he has indicated that if confronting is defending the “interests of the Andalusians, we will confront everything that is necessary”.
You have insisted that Granada and Malaga they must have the same right as other territories to go through the phase when all the sanitary criteria are met and the incidence of coronavirus in these provinces per 100,000 inhabitants is well below that of other Spanish provinces or communities that are currently in phase zero.
Juan Marín has stressed that the Board has acted at all times with “loyalty and transparency”, assuming all the instructions and guidelines indicated to us by the central government.
“We are here to protect the health and interests of Andalusians, within the institutional loyalty that we have been demonstrating since minute one of the pandemic,” he said.
You have trusted that yes all provinces enter phase 2, citizens can move throughout the community, which can help revive the tourism sector.
