Latest news of the Covid-19 in the Valencian Community and the Costa Azahar.

19/04/22

The masks are no longer mandatory in the Valencian Community since Wednesday, but the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, has recommended that the mask continue to be worn in places where they are concentrated many people, as well as in closed spaces where there is no ventilation. On the other hand, experts on the subject see the decision as "reasonable", as long as it backs down in case the cases come back up.

Puig has indicated to the media that the decision that the Council of Ministers is going to adopt to withdraw from this Wednesday the mandatory use of masks indoors is «one more milestone" in the process of "normalization” of the pandemic, which is "extraordinarily positive."

However, he stressed that the fact that it is not compulsory It does not mean that in certain spaces it is not "convenient" continue to wear the mask, and has even opined that it is "quite recommended" to keep it in those places, because the pandemic "is still with us«.
The president has stated thatcaution is always advised“, despite the fact that the incidence of the coronavirus is “much lower” and that hospitalizations are being reduced, and he has specified that in the work centers it will be the prevention services that will finally decide the specific aspects of the use of the mask .
“It is not easy to homogenize everything, because there are very different situations,” said Puig, who recalled that the mask will be mandatory on public transport and advocated why “in places where there is more risk, stay, and where there is less risk, no”.

The president has finally assessed that "new milestones are being reached in the exit from this pandemic crisis that so much pain and so many negative consequences has produced» to the Valencian Community and to the whole world, and has called for an «improved normality», in which the lessons of the pandemic are incorporated.

A "reasonable" decision

On the other hand, the researcher from the Health and Biomedical Research Foundation of the Valencian Community (Fisabio), Salvador Peiro, assures that he sees “reasonable” to eliminate the obligation to wear masks indoors and that in the worst scenario, with a new variant that “escaped” the vaccines, you can “take a step back”.

In statements, Peiró explained that "the important thing was have the masks this Easter» and although he foresees a rebound in the coming days, he has highlighted that the hospital situation is at one of the lowest points since the pandemic began and that, therefore, «can we remove the mask indoors, as is being done in almost all countries.

“If the figures go wrong, I am talking about hospitalizations and not infections, it can be reversed,” said Peiró, who considers it “logical” that they remain on public transport, where there is a greater accumulation of people, and in the social health centres, places where there are many vulnerable people.

According to Peiró, now is the turn for the risk prevention services of the companies to determine in which places this obligation can lapse in the companies themselves and in which not: «In the same company there may be spaces where it is compulsory, such as closed spaces with poor ventilation, and others in which it is not mandatory", he highlighted.

Peiró has recommended the use of the mask in closed spaces with poor ventilation, since the «transmission rates remain high and there are chains of transmission“, while highlighting that “everything that involves keeping a mask in poorly ventilated closed spaces will do us good.”

The researcher has stressed that despite the fact that the measure comes into force this Wednesday, the "adherence" to wearing a mask was no longer 100%, since in a large part of the population this habit had been "lost".

Peiró, who has predicted a rebound in these coming days due to the mobility of the population, has stated that he expects this increase in cases «not have a major impact on hospitalizations«, since the high percentage of vaccination and the people who have already had the disease give rise to «a few serious cases».

It has concluded that the worst scenario is the appearance of «new highly transmissible variants with vaccine escape", both from the vaccine and from the previous infection, and that in the event that this happens, "we will have to go back", although "we are not at that moment, but with very good prospects«.

The Russian vaccine emerges as a solution to activate tourism

The reactivation of the Spanish tourism industry, with hardly any income for almost 11 months, depends on the rate of vaccination
According to a study published by the prestigious British journal The Lancet, the Sputnik V vaccine has an efficacy rate of 91,6%

The shortage of injections against Covid-19, with only 1,6 million doses supplied in Spain since last December 27, is generating great nervousness and concern in a tourism industry that has done its part, adapting in record time to all the security protocols in place and in force to minimize the risk of contagion among its clients (Private health wants to buy vaccines to help tourism).

The large tourist lobbies, led by Exceltur and the Tourism Board, have been insisting to the Government of Pedro Sánchez for weeks on the urgent need to accelerate the rate of inoculation to reach the summer season with 70% of the population immunized. Even the entrepreneurs themselves have offered their facilities and all the material and human resources at their disposal to help achieve this goal (Tourist outcry against the slowness of the vaccination plan).

But the big problem remains the slowness, and sometimes defaults, of AstraZeneca, Moderna and Pfizer. For this reason, the Russian vaccine emerges strongly as the great hope to activate Spanish tourism before it is too late. For the moment, Hungary has taken the lead with the arrival of 40.000 doses of Sputnik V, a negligible figure compared to the 100 million offered by Russia to the European Union (Civil society calls for urgent vaccines to save tourism).

The Spanish Government opens the door to its use

Although Brussels was initially reluctant to sign a centralized purchase contract to distribute this vaccine among all Member States, time is short and it seems increasingly likely that it will take a step that could be crucial to save tourism. The two great economic powers, such as Germany and France, are beginning to open the door to this antidote which, according to a study published by the prestigious British journal The Lancet, has an efficacy rate of 91,6%.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, for example, has been favorable to its use, as long as they receive the endorsement of the health authorities. In similar terms, French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken, who affirms that there is no political veto of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, clarifying that only the endorsement of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is necessary.

With regard to Spain, which should be the most interested country as it is one of the most affected both by number of deaths and by economic impact, the Minister of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, Carolina Darias, also opens the door to his arrival. "We will enthusiastically receive any vaccine that has the authorization of the EMA, that is the only margin," he says. Likewise, although it recognizes the initial "difficulties", it trusts that "as of March there will be a significant increase that will put us in another scenario to meet the objectives". the work of the cleaning staff and recalled that "they have been at the bottom of the canyon since the beginning of this pandemic and they deserve all our admiration and thanks."
