The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo has announced this Wednesday, August 26, the closure of all parks in the municipality to avoid concentration of people, after the meeting held in the San Javier City Council with the manager of the VIII Mar Menor Health Area, Tomás Fernández who indicated that “San Javier is the municipality of the Mar Menor area with the most complicated trend currently with 32 of the 91 active cases of COVID-19 in the region “.
The closure of parks will be accompanied by a new campaign to disinfect particularly crowded public spacesadded the mayor who pointed out that “the City Council will take the necessary measures to try to reduce infections, always following the recommendations of the health authorities.”
Tomás Fernández sent the mayor and the San Javier government team the updated data this morning that show a total of 91 active cases of COVID-19 in the Mar Menor Health Area, of which 32 belong to San Javier, 20 to San Pedro del Pinatar, 21 to Torre Pacheco and 14 to Los Alcázares, to which are added 4 from Caravaca. Of the 91 active cases, there are 7 hospitalized, two of them in the ICU.
The age of those infected has decreased to an average of around 40 years and an increase of asymptomatic cases or with mild symptoms.
Despite the upward trend in infections, the Mar Menor region is among the least risky in the Murcia region, “although this is a matter of time,” said Tomás Fernández, who stated that “San Javier worries us because cases are skyrocketing in recent days. “
