| The objective of the meeting has been to study the measures to be jointly adopted around the Strategic Plan for Early Action in the fight against covid-19 | The Ministry of Women, Equality, LGTBI, Families and Social Policy has organized its monthly meeting with the representatives of the residences for the elderly to send them the document on the Early Action Plan sent by the Ministry of Social Rights, after the meeting of the 'Grupo Residencias y Covid' maintained this week between the communities and the Secretary of State for Social Rights, and study the report of economic costs that the residences themselves sent on July 14 to the Murcian Institute of Social Action (IMAS). The meeting was attended by the vice president and counselor, Isabel Franco, the managing director of IMAS, Raquel Cancela, the general director of the Elderly, José López Mellado, and the representatives of the associations of the 33 arranged residences for the elderly in the Region, Lares , Adermur and Arsalu. The meeting has also served to talk about security measures, especially family visits, income and readmissions.
The objective has been to try to establish a communication channel that allows for the adoption of always coordinated measures in prevention within the centers for the elderly, so that they are sufficiently prepared to face this changing scenario that is developing the numbers of infections. During the meeting, the vice president collected the suggestions from the nursing home directors and will take them to the next covid monitoring commission, since, she recalled, "people who are in nursing homes, whether they are elderly or workers, are those that have suffered the most from the health alert, hence the importance of going hand in hand with their representatives, sharing all the knowledge that we have at our disposal to face the virus in their facilities with the maximum guarantees ". Likewise, the associations "have taken our request to remind the staff of the centers of the importance of preventive measures to try to prevent the virus from entering the residences," he explained. Both parties agreed to highlight and positively value the effort that is being made and that is now allowing all residences in the Region of Murcia to be free of coronavirus.
