She highlighted that hand washing, the epidemiological survey and temperature taking is carried out in the place, whose records are stored in a database to which all the health areas from the territory can access.
Calviño indicated that there is a team made up of a doctor, a hygiene graduate and an official from the Ministry of the Interior working at the command point, who control the protocol established for each traveler, which also includes 14 days of isolation at home.
