recommendations
The health authorities recall the social responsibility of people who are pending the result of a PCR or who are considered close contacts. They must restrict their social life, remain at home and strictly comply with quarantine.
The General Directorate of Public Health urges citizens to use the mask correctly. This preventive measure is mandatory in Asturias for those over six years of age. In addition, it is mandatory in public and private means of transport; in the latter case when the occupants do not reside in the same household.
Frequent hand washing and maintaining an interpersonal safety distance of at least one and a half meters with people with whom you do not live are other effective measures to prevent the transmission of the virus.
