Good Morning.
Another decisive day begins in the fight against the coronavirus.
We need to strengthen security measures and this morning we will make decisions in the City Council to maximize the protection of personnel and citizens.
People who go to work, keep their distances and protective measures.
I remind you that since yesterday, the Local Police reports directly to the Ministry of the Interior and will coordinate with the Civil Guard the actions to be carried out to respect the measures of the State of Alarm.
Not respecting the rules can cost us dearly.
Even prison terms.
We are facing an emergency situation and deaths or infections rise in numbers that are chilling.
There is only one method of minimizing or stopping the coronavirus: Stay at home, respect safety and protection regulations and not be on the street for unjustified reasons.
During the morning we will inform you of the measures to be adopted by the City Council, the Services that are restricted or suspended and I ask for your understanding and collaboration.
The Coordination Table will also be constituted, made up of the Lieutenant of the Civil Guard, the Local Police Commissioner and the Mayor.
This table will report daily to the Government Delegation on the actions carried out in the Municipality of Totana.
For security reasons, the services of the ORA and services such as the SAC will be suspended, reinforcing telephone and telematic attention and attending only urgent cases in Social Services.
Civil Protection will deploy its volunteers to collaborate with Parish Caritas and care for lonely people in their homes with procedures such as medicines or basic food.
I remind you that the supply is assured and there is no need to rush into stores or large surfaces.
Let's buy, preferably in neighborhood stores, always keeping safety measures.
Neighborhood stores are closer in every way and we save time on the street.
Large stores have adopted measures to avoid crowds, limiting capacity and facilitating fluidity, with security for cashiers and the people who work in them.
Mercadona, included.
I will propose to the Spokespersons, the suspension or postponements of the Informative Commissions, Working Tables and the March Ordinary Plenary.
At this time, my solidarity with people suffering from the consequences of the Coronavirus.
Not just disease or contagion.
Also to temporary workers, self-employed, small companies and businesses that are going to have a very hard time ... They will have our defense and support decided to alleviate this disaster and we will demand fair aid from the Government to alleviate their losses and sufferings.
My very special recognition to the workers of the Public Health Service.
From the cleaners and auxiliary personnel to the directions of the Areas.
They are the true heroes and most exposed to the pandemic.
Please take care and protect yourselves, keep the strict rules and do not doubt that we will all win this battle together.
Calm and calm.
With alarmism, we gain nothing.
Despite everything, good morning and let's not forget that Health comes first.
We will recover.
From the economy to the kisses and hugs that we do not give.
And above all: SOLIDARITY AND FRATERNITY.
Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
