Click here to see full breakdown by municipality of covid cases detected in the last 7 days throughout the Region of Murcia and the figures for Tuesday 22nd September
The first of the 500,000 antigen testers purchased by the health authority have arrived in the region and are being tested in Yecla.
50,000 units are being tested, alternating with PCR tests. The regional health authority maintains that the tests will be used initially in health centres and emergency units to give a rapid response.
Murcia police fine 331 people for failing to use a mask in just 24 hours.
Yecla has experienced a significant rise in the number of cases during the last few days so will join Ceutí, Lorquí, Mula, Totana, Alhama and two barrios or districts, in the city of Murcia, those of el Carmen and Barriomar, in restricting the capacity of bars and restaurants to 40%.
In these same areas, those aged 65+ are being asked to remain inside the house as much as possible and only leave home if absolutely essential.
The same restrictions have been lifted from Fuente Álamo and the remainder of Murcia city following an improvement in these two municipalities.
350 students and teachers isolated
Eleven new schools in the Region registered positive cases of coronavirus on Monday, according to the Ministry of Education and Culture on Tuesday. This brings the number of students and teachers who are isolated in quarantine to 350 who have been in contact with people infected by covid-19 in recent days.
On Monday 13 new infections were reported in educational centers, which raises the number of infected students to 35, as well as 4 teachers, with 298 students and 52 teachers in quarantine.
According to data from the Murcian Government, there are 29 centers with positive cases of covid-19.
In Murcia city, three positive cases have also been detected in the La Alberca nursery school, a public center of the Murcia City Council. These cases correspond to two 1-year-old students in the classroom and their tutor, so nine children from that class have been quarantined.
The latest positives to join the list are those of the La Arboleja public school (Murcia). Where two students have tested positive in a nursery classroom. 20 people have been isolated, those infected, 13 students and 5 teachers.
At the public school Nuestra Señora de la Consolación (Molina de Segura) a student has tested positive and has been isolated along with three other minors.
Eight dedicated contact tracers working in the education department will ultimately make the decision about who goes into quarantine when cases have been reported in educational establishments, said the Ministry of education on Tuesday.
The health ministry will apply sanctions against parents who have been quarantined and still send their children to school. The health minister said that the regional government will be inflexible in situations whereby parents who have been ordered to quarantine still send or take, their children to school, putting other pupils at risk.
Lorca police issued more than 400 denuncias in the last week for infractions relating to non-compliance with covid measures.
10 of the newly-arrived irregular migrants have tested positive for coronavirus. 176 are isolated in the grounds of the Hotel Cenajo in Moratalla for a quarantine period.
30 military tracers conclude training at san Javier air base ready to start work.
