However, the Secretary of Public Health has indicated that “this measure will be evaluated” and also compliance with the ten-day quarantine and “if it is necessary to go back, it will be done.”

The objective is to “improve compliance with the isolation” of positive people and their close contacts, has had an impact.

Argimon will offer more information on this decision and other “understandable and global” measures, in addition to the latest data on the pandemic in Catalonia, this afternoon at a press conference.
