Barcelo confirms the Constitution holiday affected the spread of the virus
The Minister of Health, Ana Barceló, confirmed this Wednesday that the December Constitution holiday weekend “has interrupted” the fall in coronavirus infections that the Valencian Community had registered in the last four weeks. However, she clarified: “It is not that there is widespread growth but we are not decreasing.”
In a statement she confirmed that on Thursday they will meet to discuss the new epidemiological situation to determine whether new restrictions should be applied for Christmas because the measures “are always flexible”.
She pointed out that yesterday’s data, which showed 2,841 positives, “is not good” – it sets a new record for infections – and interrupts a fall in the curve that we have seen for the last four weeks in a row.
