The macro outbreak of young people on an end-of-year trip to Mallorca could be repeated with other Spanish students , in this case from Seville , who had decided to celebrate the beginning of their holidays in Portugal. In fact, as confirmed by sources from the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health to OKDIARIO Andalusia , at the moment young Spaniards are in a group of 44 people who are linked to an outbreak in which there are at least ten positive. In addition, there is another possible outbreak in Almería , although sources from the regional executive recall that “before an outbreak is declared, all the tracking tasks have to be done.”
They would not be the only outbreaks that have their origin in a trip of this nature. Not surprisingly, the ‘macro outbreak’ of Covid-19 infections originating in Mallorca has caused that, at this time, at least 179 young Andalusians are in isolation in the Balearic Islands , and another 122 have tested positive in detection tests of the coronavirus that has been practiced in Andalusia upon their return.
These are figures that the Minister of Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, has detailed in the press conference after the weekly meeting of the Andalusian Government Council, in which he remarked that it has been “very difficult” for the Board to have the “list of the young people who have gone “to these trips and of their families, due to the characteristics of these trips, having been organized” by the students themselves and not through their schools.
The counselor of the branch has specified that the Andalusian Government “has recorded 549 people linked to said outbreak here in our community.”
Regarding the outbreak in the Balearic Islands , this Monday it was reported that there were about 200 Sevillian students who, in one way or another, were related to the health situation in Palma de Mallorca, which had forced the medicalization of a hotel in the capital Balearic Islands to keep all those who may be infected isolated.
