According to the Regional Health Authority, the three positive cases are of men between 24 and 69 years
One of the cases belongs to the home and is, therefore, close contact with a high risk of a previously detected positive case, with the entire home in prophylactic isolation from the initial case.
Another case comes from an air connection with the continent, having obtained a positive result in the detection test carried out upon arrival in the Region.
The third case corresponds to an individual who obtained a negative result in the screening test carried out upon arrival in the Region and positive in the screening carried out on the sixth day after their return to the continental territory.
Contacts have already been made with the National Health Authority to monitor this case.
