Corvera, the ‘zero zone’ of the virus in Asturias, with an incidence of 1,273 cases per 100,000 inhabitants | BE Gijón | Today for Today Gijón

The number of positive by COVID-19 accumulated in the last fourteen days in health area III, whose head is Avilés, places that region in the highest incidence in Asturias, just below Grade. The worst face is in Corvera while in Avilés the figures do not stop increasing.

When a week has passed since the perimeter closure, it does not appear that the restrictions are taking effect. In neighborhoods of Aviles such as El Carbayedo, La Magadalena or La Carriona, the accumulated incidence exceeds 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in a city that after the last fourteen days has a rate of 15.5% positivity, six points more than Oviedo and four more than Gijón, cities that triple the number of inhabitants of Avilés. Mariví Monteserín, mayor of the city, asks self-confine “as much as possible.”

The University Hospital of San Agustín, in collaboration with the City Council, will transfer the autocovid al La Magdalena Exhibition Pavilion to improve user accessibility. The management of the health area III plans to start working this week. The call to this sampling point will continue to be through appointment, so users are asked to be punctual. Both the health department and the local police work to facilitate access to this equipment to speed up the performance of the PCR test.

Corvera leads the unfortunate ranking of infections in the Avilesina region with a general incidence of 1,176 cases per 100,000 inhabitants which raises the rate of positivity until almost the 20%. Its mayor, Iván Fernández, asks for understanding and cooperation.

This dark panorama is completed with an incidence of more than a thousand cases in Castrillón. Just Islands it remains without a perimeter closure although its data places the council at level three, which represents a high risk.
