The health service and local councils only take responsibility for the transportation of people for a test who have some form of disability which means they are not independent. The European health card does not qualify a person from another European country to anything more than a Galician person under the Galician Health Service.
thanks for the replies @casasusana.
and also @ kathar1na.
I state that I never wanted to say that an EU citizen must have more benefits than others and above all the Spanish citizen himself. It's probably also because of my English ...
Then. In fact, I have always talked about very specific cases .... and I'm sorry to contradict but from how I interpret the "law" even for a mild case, positive for covid -19, if it has no place to reside (and it is for me the case of a foreign pilgrim but it can also be for a Spanish citizen) must be guaranteed a safe place to fulfill the quarantine. Surely the cost is all charged to the subject.
Here among the points that I would like to clarify once and for all is the medical and emergency procedure for a foreigner who suffers symptoms that could be attributable to covid-19.
I am in contact with a friend who lives in the outskirts of Madrid and this morning harassed him with messages
. He sent me a recent document approved by the Spanish government.
It is entitled: "Estrategia de Detección precoz, Vigilancia Y control de Covid -19, 7 de septiembre de 2020 (Strategy for the early diagnosis, surveillance and control of Covid -19, on September 7, 2020).
This updates previous documents that I no longer have. it's long and I don't need to post it here.
However, given some doubts that arose in the messages, I publish part of point n. 4.
"Management of COVID-19 cases with active infection".
All suspected cases will be kept in isolation pending the PCR result and will be the search for your close cohabiting contacts will begin. In case of negative PCR and if not there high clinical suspicion, the case is excluded and the isolation ends.
- Primary care environment.
In cases that do not require hospitalization and are managed in the care setting primary domestic insulation will be indicated, provided that the insulation can be guaranteed Cash.
When this cannot be guaranteed, the isolation will be indicated in the hotel or otherwise facilities authorized for such use. In people displaced outside their locality residence at the time of diagnosis,
health authorities may evaluate others
alternatives provided they guarantee safety.
-----------------------------------------------
The document does not yet specify how the transport is regulated ... ambulance or own means or I don't know what else.
Maybe somewhere it is better specified. But it's all in Spanish and honestly it would take too long.
If anyone could help, I have the entire pdf available (I repeat, in Spanish).
And I also congratulate the Spanish authorities for having at least put "black and white" some key and hot points. Here to me ..... forget it
ps: forgive me @casasusana but ensuring hospital transport for the disabled or non self-sufficient people has been known long before the arrival of covid-19.
