Calp City Council, through the Education Council, has installed CO2 meters and air purifiers in the four local schools and Silene d'Ifac kindergarten during the Christmas holidays. These measures are intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the classrooms.
The CO2 meters make it possible to sound an alarm if a room is not properly ventilated, putting teachers or pupils at risk. They are therefore particularly useful during this period of low temperatures, when the cold forces the windows to be closed.
Calp City Council has allocated a total of 632,636.83 euros in aid to different areas of the city to mitigate the economic impact caused by the pandemic. The aid was provided as part of the Plan Resiste, which considers several lines of subsidies.
In this sense, the first line of aid, aimed at people with fewer resources, has amounted to 282,736 euros, from which 1,101 families have benefited. This was to cover basic needs such as food, hygiene and pharmaceutical products.
Esperanza P.M., a 104-year-old resident of La Saleta de Calp, was the first person to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the city.

During the day, 232 people will be vaccinated, both residents and staff of the old people's home. In the coming weeks, the vaccination will continue in the other two old people's home in the municipality: La Colina and Domus Vi.
Last Saturday, 26 December, the local police of Calp were alerted to a person lying on the ground in La Pinta street without a pulse. The officers on duty went to the scene and started resuscitation efforts on an unconscious woman.
