Calls on the population of the three closed cities, Oviedo, Avilés and Gijón, especially the latter due to its poor epidemiological evolution, to scrupulously comply with the sanitary measures, and to avoid risks by restricting social activity to what is strictly necessary.

In the part of his speech open to the media, he reiterated that we are living through critical days: “The combat is tough. The hospitals are becoming saturated, the toilets are having a hard time and there are deaths every day “, has pointed out.
