The City Council of El Ejido (Almería) plans to set up a sports pavilion next week to provide a housing solution to people who obtain a positive result of covid-19 and who cannot quarantine in their habitual residence due to the risk of infecting other people, so that this resource will be specified before starting to carry out massive tests in certain nuclei with a special incidence of the disease; some tests that will start in the middle of the week.

The territorial delegate for Health and Families, Juan de la Cruz Belmonte, has valued the "involvement" of the City Council of El Ejido in the "control" of patients to ensure that they are "isolated", a sense in which he has valued the use of a pavilion, which will be defined predictably on Monday, by the local government.

Belmonte, who has pointed out that other localities such as Nijar have had housing solutions for people with covid-19 "for a long time", they trust that other localities join this practice when "they have very important cases or when they detect that there are people who do not can serve "quarantine.

Thus, he has specified that the Territorial Delegation of Health and Families is going to "provide health control of this population, which is asymptomatic" in most cases, as detailed.

PCR tests

In this sense, it has also valued the work carried out from the Hospital de Poniente, from where several days ago videos have been broadcast through social networks on how to act in the event of a possible contagion in Spanish, English, French and Arabic, since the The City Council has distributed posters with actions to protect themselves and possible symptoms compatible with the disease.

The Olive Press now makes you log in to see stories. I think it is a move towards installing a paywall.

The story in the link above states that 135 teachers out of 87,911 in Andalucía have tested positive for coronavirus. This is around 0.1%.

These were serology tests that show whether someone has had the virus. Anyone who got a positive with this test was then given a PCR test. To see whether they have the active virus now.

10 million euros more for the Poniente hospital - around half of it to cover coronavirus related costs

The Poniente Hospital will receive 5 million to be expanded

A similar amount will be for material to face the coronavirus pandemic

The Governing Council of the Junta de Andalucía approved in its meeting this Tuesday an important economic injection for the Hospital de Poniente, located in the Almeria town of El Ejido.

This is an investment of more than 10 million euros, which will be allocated to two items fundamentally, as transferred from the Executive chaired by Juanma Moreno: works for the expansion of the health center and provision of the necessary material to deal with cases of contagion of coronavirus in full pandemic.

In addition, the investments are part of a global plan for the whole of Andalusia announced last week by the Chairman of the Board and which has been quantified at 117 million euros.

Moreno made the announcement on a visit to the works of the Military Hospital in Seville.

It is expected that in the coming days the Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, will travel to Almería to give more details of that plan. Aguirre has already appeared in provinces such as Córdoba.

Until yesterday's Governing Council, in which the Almeria counselor Carmen Crespo was present, a proposal was raised in accordance with the resolution of the managing director of the Public Health Business Agency Hospital de Poniente de Almería by which the hiring is agreed through emergency processing of the acquisition of the supply of drugs and material goods, equipment and provision of services destined for the Agency's health centers, for the care and prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic.

When the Council was held, as reported by the Board in a statement past noon yesterday, the green light was given to "the emergency declaration for the extraordinary expenditure for the acquisition of supplies of drugs and material goods, equipment and provision of services with destination to the health centers of the Public Agency of the Hospital de Poniente, in Almería, for a total amount of 10,365,607 euros ”.

The item is divided into a chapter for drugs, consumables and services, endowed with almost 4.8 million euros, which has allowed the purchase of PCR kits and laboratory consumables and protection materials, and to cover extraordinary expenses in cleaning, ambulances or transport of samples.

The other item, of more than 5.5 million euros, is intended for investment in infrastructure.
