The Department of Health of the Generalitat has confirmed on Tuesday the first case of Covid-19 coronavirus registered in Catalonia, which is the first infection within the Iberian Peninsula and the fourth in Spain, after those registered in La Gomera, Mallorca and Tenerife, in that order. The new affected is a 36-year-old Italian patient who had traveled to the north of her native country between February 22 and 22, as explained in a press conference by the Catalan Secretary of Public Health, Joan Guix.

The young woman has "flu-like symptoms" and remains admitted to the Hospital Clínic de la Ciudad Condal, although she could be isolated at home "if the pressure of patients were high" because "no special care is required". In any case, for the definitive confirmation of the infection it will be necessary to wait for the test that the National Center of Microbiology will carry out in the next hours, in compliance with the protocol marked by Health.

 

Along the same lines, health authorities have located and quarantined 25 people who have maintained contact with the patient. "They are in isolation but they are not sick people," Guix said, while calling for calm: "Without underestimating the coronavirus, I am more worried about the flu as an epidemiologist, but the idea is that I don't join the list of infections that live with us. "

 

Tras conocer la noticia, el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha pedido "tranquilidad" y "confianza" en el sistema de salud pública. Por su parte, el ministro de Sanidad, Salvador Illa, ha convocado esta tarde una reunión con los consejeros de Sanidad de las comunidades autónomas para abordar esta cuestión. "Estamos en permanente comunicación con todos ellos", ha explicado el líder del Ejecutivo a su entrada al Pleno del Senado.

 

Después de que los dos primeros casos confirmados en España —un turista alemán de paso en La Gomera y un ciudadano británico que residía en Mallorca— recibieran el alta, actualmente se mantienen infectadas tres personas. A la ingresada en Barcelona se suman un médico italiano y su mujer, que practicaban turismo en Tenerife. En las inmediaciones del hotel donde se alojaron, el H10 Costa Adeje Palace, se ha aislado a un millar de personas ante la posibilidad de que hayan contagiado el virus a otros huéspedes.

Covid-19 has killed more than 2,500 people in China and the number of infected already exceeds 75,000, according to the National Health Commission of the Asian country. Although most cases have been registered in Wuhan, capital of the Hubei province and focus of the infection, the outbreak has exceeded the borders of 30 different countries , to the point that the World Health Organization (WHO) has called to the different governments and populations to prepare themselves by all possible means for a "potential pandemic".
