Clavijo assures that the Canarian Government was “right” and sees it as “evident” that risks could have been “reduced”
The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has assured that the Canarian Government was “right” in the warnings it issued during the transfer of those infected with hantavirus and has insisted on criticizing the management of the central Executive because it is “evident” that they could have “reduced risks.” Along these lines, he has assured that the “three positives” known in the last few hours have “endorsed” the “need” to have carried out the PCR tests “on the ship”, as he has stated that the Canarian Government requested.
“What has happened is that they have dropped positive for hantavirus and have had the same circuit as those people who told us that (…) they did not have the virus,” he stated this Monday in an interview in Cuatro. He has also questioned that the other two requests he made were not fulfilled, that planes were authorized even from the European Union in case they did not arrive in time to repatriate their passengers, and that the operation was carried out in a single day. “The result is that today the plane that came from Australia has not arrived” and that “the weather has meant that the ship had to dock in the port.” (EP)
