Regarding the deceased, the Ministry led by Darias has added 205 more, which places the number of deaths since the start of the pandemic at 108,111. Of these, 207 have occurred in the last seven days.
Darias recommends the use of the mask
With all the indicators on the rise, this Friday, the Minister of Health has asked for “prudence” and recommended the use of the mask. This request was also made a few days ago by the Catalan Minister of Health, Josep Maria Argimon, or the Vice President of the Community of Madrid, Enrique Ossorio, who recommended the measure to all those who are in closed spaces for public use or who attend large events.
Likewise, Darias has appealed to the population as a whole that still does not have the booster dose of the vaccine to get it and has recalled that they are waiting for what the Vaccine Conference determines about the fourth puncture and “when” to inoculate it.
