Madrid authorities have advised the elderly to avoid contact with children as the country fights the spread of the deadly coronavirus, SIA reports citing Euronews.
Fernando Simón, director of the Center for Health Coordination and Emergencies, said that while very few of those infected with the virus were children, “they are the ones that spread it through society.” Simon warned against mixing between children and the elderly as Madrid announced the closures of schools, nurseries and universities until March 26.
Spanish authorities confirmed 487 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday bringing the total number to 2,182. But in a country where only 4% of the population work from home, many working parents rely on grandparents to take care of their children. The Spanish health authorities, which have closed day centres for the elderly in Madrid to protect them from contagion, are discouraging visits to nursing homes.
