Coronavirus in Fuerteventura - Discussion

[TrickyFox]

I asked the question about immigrants because we didn't seem to hear much about the boat people while the state of alarm was on. I'm sure the authorities know where the cases came from.

I came across this article in Canarian Weekly, it is a couple of days old, dated 23rd June, but it describes how the infected immigrants are being dealt with, which may give some peace of mind.

 I understand the 'Cheese Warehouse'  is not in the Harbour of PDR, but in the industrial estate  at the rear of Christian Moderna's  premises near Lidl on the ring road.   I am happy to be corrected!


"The 70 immigrants from the last two boats that arrived in Fuerteventura, remain quarantined in a Cabildo building known as "La Nave del Queso" (The Cheese Warehouse), which has been fitted out with eight separate areas with their own washing facilities, to maintain separation into different groups during isolation.


The eight groups don't cross or interact with each other, and are separated by which boat they came in on, male and female, and positive and negative tested.

At the moment, Fuerteventura has 25 active cases of Coronavirus, (now at 33 on 26 June)  which all correspond to occupants of the last two boats intercepted on their way to the Island, 14 from Sunday June 14th, and 11 from last Thursday. Five are minors and the rest are adults.

The intention is that the 14-day quarantine required by the Ministry of Health, be spent in this facility for all people who come to Spain from outside of the EU, plus those who have tested positive in the PCR tests that, for weeks, the Canarian Ministry of Health has carried out on all people who have arrived by boat to the archipelago, must also remain in this area."

La Nave de Queso is in the harbour area. It is where the last two boatloads of arrivals have been house, as the Cristiana Mision's building is already full.

Thanks for the correction, Captain.

The three new cases are two Civil Guards, recently transferred to Fuerteventura and a person who was undergoing tests for a surgical operation.

Maybe I am naive, but I would have thought the guards should have been tested before they left wherever they came from?

Sorry Ron, I have been here to long.

No details have been issued by the Canarian Health Service today, according to the Fuerteventura Cabildo.

Is that good or bad news?

That is certainly very odd, when usually they cannot wait to bombard us with statistics!!
