We pay special attention to vulnerable groups and especially to the Elderly Care Units. Unfortunately, in specific units we have seen non-compliance with protocols, with dramatic consequences for our fellow men.

In the case of compulsory comorbidity with people from abroad, it must be ensured that these people have been tested for the coronavirus.
