While I prepare the interview that I will have this morning live at 7, from the Television City Hall (from 13:30 to 14:00) and we coordinate the work in anticipation of the measures of the Council of Ministers announced today by the President yesterday.
I tell you:
I insist that information and data have a complexity that we have to understand.
As I write, things can change and it is very difficult to be up to the minute because this moves to the second.
I ask for a little understanding.
Also of the mistakes that are made and I, the first.
We have prepared the Legal Services to inform the Essential Sectors and the companies that must stop their production from tomorrow.
When the BOE is published today, we will give clarifications so that there are no doubts or as few as possible.
We are contacting the companies located in the Industrial Estate so that they have everything ready for closure starting Monday.
In Totana, according to the official data published, 6 are affected (positive) and one person is deceased among those 6. If we take into account that three affected are discharged (the baby, his mother and our countrywoman), we can attend, always according to the published data, which would be 2 "positive".
We are among the towns with the lowest incidence in the region and that is encouraging.
However, the ease of contagion is very dangerous and we should not trust or lower our guard.
It is also true that we have many people in Totana under observation for symptoms.
People, their families and who they have dealt with.
But the symptoms are not synonymous with "positive".
What's more, some people I know and were very concerned about have given "negative".
That is, they can increase the positives in the next hours or days, but so far, with few exceptions, we are doing well.
This pandemic does not respect anyone and it is very easy to be infected or spread it.
Hence the vital importance of staying home and protecting ourselves, protecting our close people.
We continue to keep track of the most vulnerable people: our elderly.
The residence is complying with the rules of protection and prevention strictly and more than those dictated by the health and social authorities.
Everything is controlled because we know that an infection can be lethal among "our old people".
They have even been separated into 4 groups to avoid contacts and that if a case arises, it does not affect everyone.
I will never tire of recognizing the work of residential professionals and those who care for vulnerable people in homes.
Also Local Police and Civil Guard who, in addition to monitoring compliance with the regulations and taking risks for us, control the people who must be quarantined for symptoms in their homes in collaboration with the health authorities.
It is also a humanitarian task because some confined people do not have the means to support themselves.
The collaboration with the Red Cross, Caritas and Civil Protection is intense so that people keep preventive measures at home, providing them with food and what is necessary.
I insist, preventive measures and compression that the number of police and civil guards are limited.
The professionals of Public Health in Totana are better organized every day and I recognize their worth and response to such a serious situation.
I could not say it no matter how much I wrote, even with my mouth, the admiration and gratitude I have for everyone.
Also my consideration and gratitude to the political groups of the corporation for their support.
Also to parties without representation such as Acción Totana.
A special mention for the local media that are informing the minute and giving a lesson in professionalism in an essential task such as information to the people.
The displays of solidarity are immense and I am very proud to be mayor of a town with those values ​​and ability to respond to people who need help.
Companies, hotels, collectives, brotherhoods, clinics, farmers, the irrigation community, anonymous people, women in their homes preparing protection and sanitary materials ... it is a great lesson that we must never forget.
Also some miserable attitudes (very few but pointed out) that I am not going to write about now.
Do not doubt that all the information will be published without problems and we continue trying to make the situation of confinement bearable.
Understanding and abiding by the rules that are being dictated as contradictory as they may seem.
we face a very dangerous and deadly enemy, as well as invisible and unknown.
It is normal for measurements to change from one day to the next.
We must avoid, at all costs, collapse our health resources, remain calm and hope that we get out of it.
We all go out together and we will be better and stronger in the future.
Now let's apply common sense.
a hug and please ... fraternity and solidarity
@Stay at home
Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
