BarcelonaThe symphony of coughs and sneezes and the continued increase in patients in the emergency room confirm that Catalonia is facing a new season of winter viruses. Influenza and the coronavirus, but also common cold viruses, spread freely and the Department of Health has decided that the use of the mask must once again be mandatory inside health centers, where it is already has detected an increase in healthcare pressure. “The increase in respiratory viruses has led us to decide that in Catalonia the mask is mandatory in health centers”, informed the councilor Manel Balcells this Friday.
If only two days ago, the spokeswoman for the Government, Patrícia Plaja, ruled out asking the State to make the mask mandatory again in health centers and left the decision in the hands of the management, this Friday Balcells has pushed for the right and has decided that he recovers in primary care centers (CAP) and hospitals. Until now, the recommendations of the health authorities were aimed at vulnerable people and those around them to avoid infections that could evolve into serious forms, especially if they have symptoms. “This awareness is one of the few good things left by the pandemic,” Plaja said.
