Although it is unconfirmed, sources on social media pages are saying that a Doctors surgery in Cabo Roig has informed a number of patients that there have been five cases of coronavirus reported in Cabo Roig.
However on making contact with the councillor for health, Sr Galliano, he said that he was not aware of any such development although at the municipal medical centre the individual taking the call refused to comment.
Despite this, many Ayuntamiento’s in the region have cancelled gatherings across the entire area, although such decisions were made before the Cabo Roig rumour was posted.
