the causes of the massive covid epidemic in Mallorca

The result is half a thousand cases spread across Spain (and part abroad), quarantines and several cases of infected parents. In Lugo, ten students from two educational centers and two of their parents have tested positive and in Madrid another intrafamily contagion is being investigated.

Madrid is by far the most affected autonomous community. The Ministry of Health has already identified 363 positive cases between 17 and 19 years old from more than thirty institutes in the region and who have stayed in eight hotels in Mallorca during those days.

As a consequence, in Madrid, there are 3,000 other students in quarantine and the health ministry has asked its trackers to call all cases and close contacts of the Mallorca outbreak to locate them and take action. There are over 3000 people and we must locate them all.

The spaces where the virus has been retained are identified, there are mainly five: the one-way ferry, the reggaeton macro-festivals that were taking place on the island at that time, the so-called “boat parties”, the macro bottles authorized by the authorities and the return trips after a few days in Mallorca.

Tuesday, June 15, in the Plaza de toros de Mallorca, “the biggest reggaeton festival in Europe“The advertisement was not misleading. It was so massive that the Police had to step in and suspend it due to the crowds and the lack of security measures.

The intervention did not prevent that same Sunday, June 19, a second edition could be held with identical results with regard to security.

Just this Friday that the The Balearic government has opened a case against the organizers Reguetón concert in the Plaza de Toros de Palma which incurs fines ranging from 60,000 to 600,000 euros for a very serious offense.

The Balearic Executive also announced that survey of nine hotels of the island for what happened and who will order the central government to undertake legal proceedings against these travel agencies of the peninsula that they have been able to organize or collaborate in the development of activities that violate COVID regulations.

Another source of targeted contagion is the boat parties animated by loud music and washed down with an abundant alcohol frequented by many young people and which continued ashore until late at night at the time of disembarkation.

Travel agencies defend themselves by saying that all activities they organize end at midnight and They accuse the Balearic government of allowing macro bottles in the streets of the island at this time.

This also worries the british tourism. In the specific case of Mallorca was 12,000 additional seats which have been made available to British tourists who will be able to visit the island to enjoy its climate, its beaches and its party, more outdoor masks for the end of the regulation entered into force this Saturday.

Currently, the company offers 82 weekly flights to Mallorca of ten UK airports.
