In relation to the coronavirus outbreak in Lorca, IU-V demands daily information from the Autonomous Community; coordination between administrations; postponement of vacations for top-level political and technical leaders related to health; agility and gratuitousness in the realization of tests; trackers in optimal number; control of quarantines; transparency in communication to citizens to avoid hoaxes; and effectiveness to control and sanction individual and collective breaches The municipal spokesperson for IU-V in the Lorca City Council, Pedro Sosa, has stated this morning that in our municipality not everyone is doing their homework in the face of an enemy as powerful as covid-19.

The number of positives and their growth is one of the highest in the Region of Murcia and we should analyze very seriously and with agility "what things we are not doing well" so that the health reality shows such worrying data for Lorca. According to Sosa, transparency around the data should be essential in several areas: in knowing the daily number of cases and their evolution, in the places where new cases are located (isolated or outbreak), and in the numerical and other criteria required of our city for the change of phases and the adoption of sanitary measures.

Transparency and informative clarity, affirms the IU-V councilor, are essential to combat hoaxes and to give peace of mind and security to citizens, circumstances that we also consider fundamental in the face of the pandemic. But in addition to the information, the IU-V councilor asks the Mayor of Lorca for other questions.

The first of these is that all political leaders (local and regional) and all first-level technical managers (local and regional) who are related to health must postpone their vacations to another time.

It is not edifying to learn that, in the midst of the virus outbreak in Lorca a couple of weeks ago, the main person in charge of public health in the Autonomous Community in our municipality was on vacation. Sosa also urges Mayor Diego José Mateos to approach the regional government to demand coordination with our local administration, optimal information flows, enough disease trackers to anticipate infections (according to Sosa, it is unknown if Lorca ever has had a tracker and what has been its effectiveness), control of quarantines on citizens who have been imposed by their doctors, and testing (PCRs) in optimal numbers, public, free and with sanitary guarantees. Finally and with regard to purely municipal powers, Sosa has asked the Mayor to go to extremes, without shaking anyone's hand, the demand for compliance with individual and collective health measures and that, where appropriate, punish non-compliance with the use of masks, social distances on public roads, hotels, public transport, parties and bottles, etc.
