A father and his daughter, infected in a family Covid outbreak with a total of 19 affected in La Asomada, have responded to the statements of the mayor of Tías, in which he attributed the situation of the municipality to "irresponsibility" at Christmas, stating that there had been "private parties of 30 and 40 people." "We were not infected by any party," they say in response to the mayor. However, it should be remembered that Cruz only said that La Asomada was one of the areas of the municipality most affected by Covid, but without indicating that the massive parties had been registered in this town.
From this family they do acknowledge that during Christmas they gathered at a dinner up to 23 people, although they maintain that the contagion occurred "in a simple meeting of six people and a child" who "is now two years old", which occurred days later.
As they have explained to La Voz, those affected are all members of the same family, although from four different addresses. "We are the four of us who are neighbors, we live next door and, as neighbors, we have coffees with each other," said the father who addressed La Voz.
"The first one who had symptoms was my aunt," said the daughter of this man, who says that it was after the meeting of six adults and that it was days later when other relatives who had been at that meeting began with symptoms and that then "12 days had passed" since the Christmas dinner.
In their case, they claim that there are seven infected in the house, but that none have had symptoms. "Others of those infected have had fever, but nothing else," they point out.
Regarding the Christmas dinner in which 23 people gathered, they assume their breach, although they clarify that they were "in the countryside, in an open space." "We do not deny that, but if the contagion had been there, we would say we were wrong, but it was not like that," they defend.
