The wife of the man admitted to Fatima, possible eleventh case of the Indian variant

As it has come out today, the man was admitted to Vithas Fátima for a surgical operation, for which a PCR was performed in which he tested positive. He was identified as being in the same hospital as the five Prometheus Leader crew members who require hospital care, but it is not known if he was infected inside or outside the hospital. In fact, in the screening that was carried out on all the staff and the patients on the floor, no positives have emerged, so the suspicion that he did it outside is gaining weight. Now his wife has also tested positive.

On the other hand, the Prometheus Leader sailor who needed to be admitted to the UCI has improved and is now on the ward.

The wife of the hospitalized in Fatima, possible eleventh case of the Indian variant

In the port of Vigo, the crew of the Emerald Leader is also isolated, also with eight infected, although only one has required hospital care. The manager of the Vigo Health Area, Javier Puente Prieto, reported today that it will not be known which variant is responsible for this focus until Wednesday. The one that is already ruled out is the British one.

At the request of the president of the Port Authority of Vigo, Jesús Vázquez Almuiña, Sergas is carrying out a screening this morning in the market of the port of Berbés to which 1,250 workers have been summoned. "We thought it was important to do it here," he said. Before noon they had already exceeded 50% participation, "a high figure," Almuiña applauded.

The Xunta delegate in Vigo, Marta Fernández-Tapias, also attended the screening visit.
