The Ministry of Health reminds that the measure for a maximum of 10 persons (including minors) in homes is in force, according to a Decree of the Minister of Health.
This measure was decided on the basis of the broader philosophy of the measures in force and focusing on the restriction of social gatherings and contacts achieved through the creation of small fixed groups of people (bubbles) in accordance with the recommendations of the European Infection Control Center (ECDC).
In the days leading up to Christmas, it was observed in many cases that, although the measure of 10 people per house was observed, these groups were different in each gathering, a phenomenon that is far from the philosophy of constant contacts and carries risks for its dispersion. virus and the emergence of consecutive cases.
The period we are going through is particularly difficult for the epidemiological picture of the country, since the increased numbers in the hospitalizations show that the Health System is already under a lot of pressure. The coming weeks will be crucial for the resilience of hospitals in infrastructure and human resources, as it is expected that some of the positive events of these days will require hospitalization. So that health professionals can help patients COVID-19 who may need hospitalization need the contribution of citizens and the careful behavior and implementation of relevant protocols by the whole society, and above all the restriction of contacts.
