ARCHIVED - A week without any Covid deaths in the Murcia Region
A bus was intercepted last night in Murcia with four suspected cases on board
Good news for the Murcia Region on Thursday as no new deaths from Covid-19 have been reported within the last seven days and the total remains at 149.
The number of active cases has fallen by 25 to 155 as although 31 people have joined the list of “cured cases”, bringing the total diagnosed by the PCR swab system to 1,290, six new patients have tested positive.
The numbers of those hospitalised has remained the same as yesterday at 24, with 4 in intensive care and a further 131 are in quarantine at home.
Bus intercepted in Murcia with four possible cases on board
This afternoon it’s been confirmed that a bus from Andalucía was intercepted at around three in the morning when it stopped in Murcia at the San Andrés bus station for four people to get off the vehicle.
22 people were on board at the time, but the bus was permitted to continue its journey to Barcelona.
The four were tested and one was found to be positive, so all of those on the bus will now have to be quarantined in their own local health areas.
It is a bizarre situation given that travel between provinces is currently prohibited for this very reason. The only exceptions are: "health, work, professional or business reasons, return to the place of family residence, assistance and care for the elderly, force majeure or a situation of need".
What makes it particularly difficult to understand is how the four men of Magrebi origin (north African coast), managed to justify buying tickets as the four men concerned had reportedly escaped from a Red Cross reception center in Guadix, Granada and were amongst six people in the same group who were being sought by police.
Their flight was reported by the Guardia Civíl to police forces along the bus route when it was ascertained that they had purchased tickets and the police were waiting for them when the bus pulled into the station, suitably attired in PPE. The four men were taken straight to the Arrixaca hospital for testing.
