The president of the Andalusian Government, Juanma Moreno, has assured that it is “technically impossible that there are no infections” of the virus when there is mobility throughout Spain and internationally, but has sent a message of tranquility because the sentinel systems are working.

Moreno, during his speech at the inauguration in Andújar (Jaén) of the repair works of the bridge over the Jándula, has insisted that the Government of Andalusia is aware that “this pandemic has caused a lot of pain and many losses of loved ones.”

And that “the pandemic It is a challenge that we do not have no type of antecedent, a challenge in health terms, in social terms and in economic terms “, but that” the first thing we all have to do is focus on the fact that we are in a new stage “.

“The covid-19 has not disappeared, the virus has unfortunately not disappeared, you are all aware that there are occasional infections in many corners of Spain, as an obvious consequence of mobility which for a few days has been enjoyed throughout the country “, he insisted, while adding that it is something to which” we will have to get used to. “

“It is technically impossible that these infections do not exist when there is mobility at the level provincial among all autonomous communities and at the international level “, and what the Andalusian Government is going to do is” try “to put a series of resources as they are doing.

As is the case with the sentinel and tracker system, “which up to now is working with the outbreaks that have occurred both in Malaga and in Granada and Algeciras, where it has been located so fast to people who had the virus, PCR has been done on all and therefore it has been detected who has tested positive and who has not. “

Likewise, “the entire population with whom they have had contact has been quarantined, we have about 100 people in quarantine and under surveillance, until ultimately everything is controlled, for now. “

In the economic aspect, he has launched a message of hope, “because we are going to work with great tenacity together with the municipalities, councils, Central Government” and although “right now the data is complicated”, “there are already small symptoms that tell us that we continue to have confidence abroad. “

As an example highlighted that this quarter it has been closed with almost 60% more foreign investment “, which” means that foreign investors have not left Andalusia, they continue to trust “.
