Feijóo delves into the “public health crisis” in Ceuta
The Health Department considers the confinement measure requested by the PP leader to be "unjustified" and "excessive" and ensures that the risk of transmission to the population is low and moderate among immigrants.
Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the opposition and the PP, has highlighted the "public health crisis" in Ceuta following the massive influx of migrants on July 30-31. He has called on the government of Pedro Sánchez to consider "confinement" of those with infectious diseases such as scabies or tuberculosis. Health Minister Mónica García has rejected the measure as "unjustified" and "excessive", citing the Ceuta government's responsibility for public health.
García emphasized that the priority is to provide shelter, hygiene, and basic sanitation to the migrants, and suggested that Feijóo should ask the Ceuta government to make available all available spaces for this purpose.
