Marbella has been doing very well. It has been one of the least affected areas in Spain throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and has been recording zero deaths consecutively more recently. However, despite their vivid success at fighting this invisible enemy, Marbella continues to impose measures and provide options to its citizens and visitors to ascertain their continued success at keeping its people safe.
July 12th, 2020 the mayoress of Marbella was proud to announce yet another new device to help combat COVID-19 and continue to keep holidaymakers and inhabitants safe. The city has installed a dozen automatic Hydroalcoholic Gel Dispensers at strategic points across the Marbella region, where there is a greater concentration of people.
The mayoress, Ángeles Muñoz, said: “This is a novel initiative. They have 2,000 doses each and are activated by detecting the hand without the need for contact; They will be located in areas such as the Paseo Marítimo, the Casco Antiguo and the centre of San Pedro Alcántara, as well as Nueva Andalucía and Las Chapas.”
The councillor, Félix Romero, stated that “the objective is to continue promoting measures and providing citizens with tools to deal with the health crisis.”
Marbella is an absolutely safe city. The tourist sector and the City Council have made a great effort in fulfilling the sanitary recommendations and continues to do so, despite the fact that it has been recording zero deaths more recently and in a consecutive manner. The city believes in a continued effort to keep this trend going, especially now that the tourists are back in town.
Locations of the Automatic Hydroalcoholic Gel Dispensers
The first units have been installed on Avenida Ricardo Soriano; in the plaza of the Church of the Incarnation; also in the Plaza de la Iglesia de la Divina Pastora; at the junction of Calvario and Ricardo Soriano, and the Paseo Marítimo. The remaining devices will be installed in San Pedro Alcántara, in the Plaza de la Iglesia and on the Boulevard, in Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía and Las Chapas.
