Almería is the province with the most municipalities pending to be confined
There are 18 municipalities in Almería that can be confined if the Government allows it
Juanma Moreno made it clear this Friday that Andalusia is going through its worst moments of the pandemic and decided, together with the Andalusian committee of experts, to take more restrictive measures throughout the autonomous community to contain the advance of a virus whose contagious capacity has multiplied since that the British strain was detected in Andalusia.
The announcement of the Andalusian president arrived loaded with restrictions to all the provinces, since they are closed on the perimeter from this very night and it is only possible to enter or leave them with just cause, but in up to 91 Andalusian municipalities the measures become even tougher and arrive accompanied by a word that reminds us of the months of March and April: confinement.
And it is that, as Moreno assured, he will ask the Government of Spain, led by Pedro Sánchez, to allow decreeing home confinement in the 91 Andalusian municipalities that currently have a contagion rate higher than 1,000 positives per 100,000 inhabitants and in which not only the perimeter closure has been decreed, as is the case in those that exceed the incidence rate of 500, but also the closure of all non-essential businesses and hotels has been established.
Here, Almería is the one with the worst stop in all of Andalusia as it has a total of 18 municipalities that are currently pending whether the Government of Spain allows their home confinement. For their part, there are five in Cádiz; 12 in Córdoba; 16 in Granada; there are five in Huelva; 14 in the province of Jaén; 14 in Malaga and 7 in Seville.

More measures in Andalusia
And it is that today, the Andalusian Government has decided to close the perimeter of each of the eight provinces, so that there will be no mobility between them except for justifiable reasons, while it has also decided to reduce the number of people who will be able to meet, while all hospitality establishments and commercial businesses will have to close at 18.00.
This was announced by the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, in a public appearance, at 8:30 p.m., after the meeting of the committee of experts that advises his Government on the coronavirus pandemic. These new measures will be published tomorrow Saturday in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía (BOJA) and will come into force at midnight from Saturday to Sunday.
