On Tuesday evening Lorca police were called out by a neighbour to break up a gathering of young people in a private country finca in the El Campillo outlying district of the municipality.
A dozen young people were enjoying themselves, without wearing masks or social distancing and in breach of the regulations which are in place, establishing a maximum of 6 people in a gathering at any one time.
The police also broke up a much larger gathering on Sunday, also in the El Campillo area at Darfary's grill, ( a take-away and chicken roasting venue) located in the district of Campillo, in which the Local Police also had to intervene at dawn last Sunday to break-up a party with karaoke and a dance floor with another hundred participants.
Municipal services have applied for a closure order of the premises.
Both the regional government and the local council have also ordered the closure of the bar "New York", in which a birthday party with 100 guests was held in breach of the restrictions and health safety regulations against covid on August 30th.
Mayor, Diego José Mateos, confirmed that the closure order had been served on Monday to the owners of the premises, which is located in Plaza Real, in the heart of the city, in front of the municipal library.
The Mayor has once again called for civil responsibility and urged residents to report illegal gatherings.
The municipality has the second highest incidence per 100,000 of population in the region at the moment; 375/100,000 for the last 7 days, and 698/100,000 over the last 14 days, more than double the regional average.
The city has notified 356 cases in the last 7 days and 659 in the last 14 days and has been one of the worst affected municipalities during the last few weeks.
On Wednesday morning the mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, announced the transfer of the Covid-19 tester point that is installed in the San Diego health center to the facilities of the old Limusa car park, opposite to the Huerto de la Rueda, due to the proximity of the point in San Diego to a nearby school, due to resume classes this week.
