President of the Valencian Government, Ximo Puig has proposed measures to declare a curfew in the Valencian Community from midnight until 6am, until December 9th.
The curfew measures would seek to control skyrocketing coronavirus infections in the three Valencian provinces, in Alicante in particular.
The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Ximo Puig, announced that he will propose the declaration of a curfew in the Valencian Community.
The Valencian Community has gone, in a matter of days, from being the autonomous community with the lowest accumulated infection figures to the top three. The aim of the curfew, which would last until December 9, would be to begin the Christmas season with low infection numbers, allowing greater freedom of movement of citizens for the holiday season.
A series of meetings were held by Puig today (Thursday) in order to analyze the overall situation and examine the possibility of asking central government for a curfew in Valencia.
Support from employers and unions
The regional employers’ association CEV and the two main workers’ unions CC OO and UGT have shown their support for the move in order to try to stop the advance of the coronavirus pandemic.
