The Xunta requests the passage to phase 3 of all Galicia and mobility between provinces starting next Monday. The data managed by the Galician government confirm a good evolution of the epidemic, with the second lowest fatality rate in the entire State, only behind the Canary Islands.
Further, 229 Galician councils have not registered any case of coronavirus for 28 days. The Minister of Health, Jesús Vázquez Almuiña, has requested a telephone appointment with the minister Salvador Illa to clarify if on Monday we Galicians will be able to move between provinces.
The Xunta also says that the requirements for the control and monitoring of possible regrowths are met. In the active control center, known as trackers, 176 people currently work.
Epidemiological study
Despite the evolutionary evolution and above all, despite the request of primary school physicians for the epidemiological study carried out by the Xunta to be terminated, that study will continue, the Xunta considers that it will be a good instrument to know exactly the situation.
This Thursday the material will arrive at the health centers, the people who have been selected to perform the test will begin to be called and from Monday the tests will be done. The Xunta expects to have the results of the second wave of this epidemiological study in the middle of the month.
The director of healthcare resources at SERGAS, Jorge Aboal, rejects criticism from family doctors and defends its usefulness. The first wave of the study concluded that only 1.15 percent of the Galician population had been in contact with the virus.
