Feijóo ahonda en la “crisis de salud pública” en Ceuta
Sanidad ve “injustificada” y “desmesurada” la medida de confinamiento reclamada por el líder del PP y asegura que el riesgo de transmisión a la población es bajo y moderado entre los inmigrantes
Opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo has delved deeper into the "public health crisis" in Ceuta over the weekend, in reference to the massive influx of migrants on July 30th and 31st, leaving thousands of people living on the streets, many in overcrowded conditions and lacking basic hygiene. Feijóo has called on the Pedro Sánchez government to study the "confinement" of those with infectious diseases like measles or tuberculosis.
Health Minister Mónica García labeled the measure as "unjustified" and "excessive," emphasizing that health public competencies in Ceuta belong to the city's leader, Juan Jesús Vivas. García stressed that the most urgent and essential task is to house the people and provide them with basic hygiene and sanitation. "If Mr. Feijóo wants to help, tell him to ask the Ceuta city government for the immediate transfer of all available spaces to safely house these individuals," García demanded on a Twitter thread.
The Spanish Society of Epidemiology previously urged against blaming immigrants for the spread of diseases.
