The Government has decreed a state of alarm in Madrid due to the increase in cases due to COVID-19 and also to avoid mass outings through the Puente del Pilar. This was decided after the extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers held this Friday, where Salvador Illa , Minister of Health and Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Minister of the Interior, announced these measures.

Of course, everything remains the same but with different coverage. "The measures that were in Madrid before this state of alarm will be those that will be in force, neither one more nor one less , " says Illa. In any case, there are some positive changes, since if some meet the criteria, their mobility will improve, as is the case of Alcalá Middle East Phone Number List de Henares, who will be able to move freely. The key, after all, is that the rules are the same, but what has changed is the legal form. According to the Minister of Health, the Government has tried to contact the Community of Madrid on many occasions to reach an agreement, but it has not been possible. "The obligation of this Executive is to stop the virus even if it means some sacrifices.
With these 15 days that have been agreed upon in the Council of Ministers, we will have 21 days of extraordinary measures, something that will be enough to continue fighting the virus in Madrid." "Things are as they are and the virus is still there: it is contagious and we have to learn to live with it." They consider that a confinement as extreme as in the first wave is not necessary "What is clear is that there is no need for a confinement like the one we had in the first wave, but it is necessary to have perimeter restrictions . There are positive examples in which this type of initiative has been carried out, such as in Lorca, Linares , Valladolid, Las Palmas... and they have worked," Illa reported.
