May 19 from 2020 - 19: 23

The Minister of Health, Ana Barceló, has announced, at this time, during the appearance of updating data on the situation of the coronavirus, that this week, the Generalitat Valenciana will not request the pass to Phase 2.

A step that was scheduled for Monday May 25, according to the calendar announced by the Government of Spain, which marked a period of 15 days in the de-escalation from one phase to the other.

The minister has clarified that "the sense of prudence is what has to guide us this next week". Barceló has indicated that the data is good, and epidemiologically we are doing well, "but the reproduction index, although it is below 1, has grown somewhat in recent days, has gone from 0.66 to 0.85, not that there is an outbreak, but we want to let the weeks go by, see how it goes and therefore both stayed in phase 1, one more week the three provinces ".

The head of Health at the Consell has indicated that for one more week you have to be cautious, and "As 14 of the 24 departments have only been in Phase 1 for two days, it is a matter of waiting to see what effects and what evolution of the pandemic occurs."

For her part, the deputy director general for Epidemiology, Health Surveillance and Environmental Health, Hermelinda Vanaclocha has detailed that "This increase has been registered with the passage of the first ten departments to phase 1, so we believe it convenient to study the evolution that occurs with the passage of the remaining 14 departments."

Ana Barceló has highlighted that this decision has been very thoughtful, "and it is our obligation to protect the health of all. Prudence tells us the way, and that we must go slowly. We want to get out of this situation all together."

On the other hand, before the statement made last week that the Consell would ask the Ministry to go to Phase 2, on May 25, the minister has indicated that "With the data that I had at the moment, I thought that the evolution of the epidemic was more positive. Now I think it is better to wait a week".
