When can the Community move to Phase 1 and a possible explanation why it has not done so

After the setback of not passing the entire Community to Phase 1, the question is when can the step be taken. Will we have to wait 15 days? A week or even less? In that sense, Councilor Ana Barceló, that he has announced that the hours and time slots to go out with the children will be changed, he has explained how and when the phase change will occur although he repeated that “We do not know the criteria used by the Ministry of Health, but we are still working to get the exam reviewed.

Ana Barceló has a meeting scheduled this Monday to clarify the reasons why only ten health departments have passed and how to pass quickly. “I do not think there is a political background behind the decision. It is about passing the exam and we want to pass it as soon as possible because we need our social and economic activity to return. The Valencian Community has always remained among the lowest rates. If there is anyone that they have detected, we want to know so that on Monday I can sit down with the Minister, we can advance as soon as possible to the Phase 1. The anger is evident with the Government of Spain.

When can you switch to Phase 1?

However, the Councilor, visibly pissed off this Friday, has announced that this Monday she will request the passage to Phase 1. “There is a predisposition on the part of the Minister for it to be this Monday.” The director of the Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simón, pointed out this Friday that “there may be some flexibility” although the initial idea was that between phase and phase there should be fifteen days. Applications must be made to the Ministry of Health with sufficient margin to be able to be evaluated. Nevertheless, Ana Barceló trusts that it can be “before a week”

Why hasn’t it passed the Phase?

Ana Barceló has tried to explain a decision of the Minister that the Generalitat now it has not. “I do not think there is a political background behind the decision. It is about passing the exam and we want to pass it as soon as possible because we need our social and economic activity to return. The Valencian Community has always remained among the lowest rates. If there is anyone that they have detected, we want to know so that on Monday I can sit down with the Minister, we can advance to Phase 1 as soon as possible.

The 14 departments that have not passed to Phase 1 are those in which “we have been able to observe that there is more mobility in these nodes”.

“If we had asked for it by provinces, we would not have advanced,” concluded Barceló to defend himself from having requested the de-escalation by health departments. It does recognize that 14 departments that have not passed are those in which “we have been able to observe that there is more mobility in these nodes”.

Fernando Simón gives his version: “Next Monday”

The director of the Center for the Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies, Fernando Simón, has given his own version of the matter. “In Valencia in particular the pandemic has had a high incidence and the primary care services have worked great,” but, he adds, “we have some factors associated with the epidemic, there is not much missing, very little is missing, it is a matter of doing it well, After many discussions, it was assessed that there are ten departments of the 24 that meet in an adequate situation and 10 that by a principle of prudence it would be better to wait a few days, next Monday (in reference to May 18) if the data and the assessment says that you can pass the phase, it will be done. If we try to turn this into a race it will end in a regrowth “

Next Monday, if the data and the assessment say that the phase can be passed, it will be done. If we try to turn this into a career it will end in a regrowth “

As of today, the health departments that advance the de-escalation phase: The health departments of Vinaròs (Castellón), Requena (Valencia), Xàtiva-Ontinyent (Valencia), Gandia (Valencia), Alcoy (Alicante), Dénia ( Alicante), La Marina Baixa (Alicante), Elda (Alicante), Orihuela (Alicante) and Torrevieja (Alicante).
