Spain's Health Minister Addresses Ceuta Blockade
Spanish Health Minister Monika García confirmed that imposing a lockdown in the city of Ceuta is not justified at this time, due to the lack of epidemiological data prompting such measures. She clarified that the conditions for imposing quarantine require clear health indicators that help assess the level of risk, noting that the current situation does not warrant restricting residents' movement, especially after it became evident that casual interactions between migrants and local residents do not pose a significant health threat. This statement came in response to the call by the leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to impose a lockdown following a mass crossing into the city at the end of July, which was accompanied by cases of diseases such as tuberculosis, scabies, and gastrointestinal infections. However, health officials did not see the current circumstances as justifying the implementation of coercive measures.
