"Tomorrow he meets at the Los Arcos hospital with the mayors of the four municipalities of the Mar Menor Health Area" to coordinate actions and assess the commitment of the population to stop the pandemic.

" "We have to be very clear and forceful," said Tomás Fernández, who recalled that "despite the fact that age has decreased, there are hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths." The head of the Mar Menor Health Area, stated that "administrations and sanitary devices can do a lot but if there is no commitment from the population to get involved to stop this, we are not going to stop it." Fernández appealed to the participation of social agents to transmit and get the message across to the different groups "because we may have a problem equal to if not greater than that of March or April last." Tomás Fernández announced the increase in PCR tests planned in the Mar Menor Health Area, which will focus on the Los Arcos hospital, and which may reach up to 800 daily.He also announced that the hospital center has two floors adapted to COVID-19 patients that will be opened as needed. The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo expressed his concern about the increase in cases that have occurred in the last two weeks in San Javier, mostly related to family and friends gatherings, closed spaces and nightlife, and valued the good behavior of the incidence of infections on the coast despite the increase in population.

José Miguel Luengo influenced the message of social commitment against the pandemic and announced that together with measures such as the closure of parks and disinfection, a communicative work will be carried out in which it is intended to involve all kinds of associations and clubs in the municipality to reach all groups.

Luengo recalled that the City Council has adapted the El Mirador office to the new measures and that work begins on the Santiago de la Ribera office in September.

"The City Council will make the necessary effort, but we must live with this and we will only be able to do so if we truly all act responsibly, "he said.
