The new measure establishes that workers in non-essential activities cannot attend their work between today, Monday, March 30, and next Thursday, April 9, both inclusive, to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The measure is taken through a recoverable paid leave, so workers will not lose their wages but will have to recover hours after the state of alarm, before December 31.
In addition, controls will be strengthened, especially on suburban roads to avoid unjustified exits and to punish violators of the state of alarm decreed to stop the expansion of the coronavirus, as well as in those of second residence during the weekends.
Thus, the Civil Guard and Local Police officers will intensify surveillance to minimize the risk of contagion.
This irresponsible attitude puts the health of these people and that of others at risk, which is why the Government Delegation in Murcia has given instructions to strengthen controls and forcefully sanction those who break the rules.
The mayor of Totana, Juan José Cánovas, has thanked the residents of Totana for the "enormous effort and sacrifice" they are making during these days, as well as health professionals, the Local Police, Civil Protection and the Civil Guard, and all those who work to guarantee essential services in this state of alarm.
