VALENCIA. The President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, has ruled out at this time re-applying restrictions in the Valencian Community despite the rebound of the coronavirus, but it has defended requiring the covid certificate to access certain spaces “as a useful instrument to encourage vaccination and, above all, to protect to the population that has complied. “
Puig, in an interview with À Punt Morning News collected by Europa Press, has highlighted that Valencian society has shown “enormous co-responsibility” and, thanks to this, the incidence has had “a better behavior than other communities and other countries” and now considers that it is “time to give a one more step “and that it may be” useful “to request the covid certificate to access certain spaces, which it has not specified.
Thus, he stressed that Spain is “an example of vaccination and the Valencian Community especially in vaccination, joint responsibility and permanent monitoring of all the tough restrictions we have had.” “And that – he stressed – has paid off and many lives, families and companies have been saved.”
For this reason, he now defends that it is time to “take one more step” to “intensify to the maximum” the vaccination of those who are not yet immunized and to achieve this he has stressed that vaccination will “be facilitated as much as possible”.
Puig has stressed that about 90% of the target population of the Valencian Community is already vaccinated but even this figure must be exceeded and for this he considers that it may be “useful” to request the covid certificate to access certain spaces.
In addition, he recalled that today the booster dose begins to be administered to the 210,000 Valencians vaccinated with Janssen and continues with those over 70 years of age.
