However, it is still being investigated whether and how many infections had happened at this meeting, said a spokesman for the regional university hospital in Malaga in the south of the country on Tuesday.
A week ago, more than 170 medical workers attended the Christmas dinner. As the media reported, citing the hospital, all participants had undergone antigen tests prior to the December 1 meeting, all of which were negative. That is why it is examined whether those affected may not have become infected while eating, but shortly before or after the test. The regional newspaper “Diario Sur” reported that several of them recently took part in other larger professional events together.
All symptom-free
According to the information, none of the infected has so far developed symptoms of the disease Covid-19. They had to go into a ten-day quarantine. Although many of them worked, among other things, in the intensive care unit, the hospital has not had any major problems as a result of the failure, it said.
Although Spain has a high vaccination rate and almost 90 percent of all people older than twelve are already fully vaccinated, the seven-day incidence has also increased here. From the 2021 low of around 18 in mid-October, this value recently climbed to 139. This means that the country is still in a significantly better position than many other European countries. For comparison: in Austria the incidence on Tuesday was 530.
