| Rosario Segura (Pharmaceutical) | As we already said in its day, we consider that there are active and passive epidemiological surveillance methods.

PASSIVE surveillance is the one that is being carried out now, consisting of waiting for someone to get sick and arrive at the health center or hospital to have the PCR test done and to know if they are positive.

If it is positive, a contact tracing would be established and tests would also be carried out.

It basically consists of waiting for people to get sick and then acting.But of course we all know that this method is not the most effective, we believe that it is time to implement sanitary measures urgently, based on the ACTIVE epidemiological surveillance method, which is about taking samples from the population by zones, strategic places, points of great concentration of workers, vulnerable sectors (agricultural, meat, geriatric) without waiting for the population to get sick.In Lorca we do not know what the general epidemiological situation of its neighborhoods and districts is because the population has not been sampled.

We do not know those who are asymptomatic carriers and we want to know their percentage in each area of ??Lorca, their prevalence.

We only know the people who have come to the Hospital or Health Center for tests because they feel sick and have tested positive.FROM SOMOS LORCA WE ARE REGION, we reiterate our proposal consisting in carrying out more random controls to the population of Lorca and the Region of Murcia, in certain strategic places and population groups that are more exposed to risk.

We propose taking samples from a percentage of the population that works in agricultural warehouses and meat industries, leisure centers with an influx of public, supermarket workers, public transport drivers and any person who may pose a risk of spreading the virus, since the measures adopted to date give clear evidence that they are insufficient, and that they obey the practice of defensive medicine and this and nothing and nothing is practically the same.Rosario Segura (Pharmacist)
