MASS SCREENING IN SABINILLAS
This new operation is being carried out today in the Plaza de los Maestros in Sabinillas.
A total of 500 people are being summoned by text message, selected by the Junta de Andalucía itself from among those assigned to the Sabinillas and Manilva health centres, which corresponds to almost 3% of the current population. The test will be an antigen test, it will be free and voluntary, and the results will be provided after approximately 15 minutes. The mayor has called for responsibility and asks everyone who is summoned to attend and take the test so that the figures in our town can be contained.
This newsroom has produced a graph showing the total positive cases since the start of the pandemic, the details of the last 14 days and recoveries, which we update from Monday to Friday and which we have included in our «Coronavirus Special.»
