Suspension of Health Services in the Region
Due to forecasts of extreme rainfall, the Department of Health has decided to suspend scheduled non-urgent care in several areas, including Camp de Tarragona, Terres de l’Ebre and Penedès. This measure seeks to minimize unnecessary travel at a time of alert for adverse weather conditions.
Maintenance of Essential Services
Despite the suspension of scheduled visits, continuing primary care and hospital emergency services will not be affected. Patients will receive new times for their appointments through the usual channels, ensuring that the most urgent needs are attended to.
Judicial Impact: Suspension of Proceedings at the TSJC
As a result of the mobility restrictions, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia has decided to suspend all judicial acts scheduled for this Monday in the demarcation of Tarragona. This decision will remain until the authorities deactivate the alert, with the priority of rescheduling the affected sessions.
Urgency in the Judicial System
Only emergency actions will maintain their programming, with the aim of ensuring that the most critical issues are attended to without delay. The TSJC has communicated this decision to all parties involved to ensure effective coordination.
Tarragona City Council initiatives
Tarragona City Council has taken proactive measures to manage the situation, recommending teleworking until 2pm on Monday. This decision seeks to reduce traffic and mobility costs for those living outside the city.
Minimum Services and Controlled Mobility
Mayor Rubén Viñuales has established minimum services to guarantee the essential functioning of the city. Public transport will operate with reduced timetables, and municipal car parks will be closed in case of flooding, with restrictions on vehicle access to ensure the safety of citizens.
Conclusion: A Collective Response
The measures adopted by Health, the judicial system and Tarragona City Council reflect a coordinated response to an emergency situation. The priority is the safety of citizens and the continuity of essential services, while the weather situation is expected to improve soon.
