HEALTH authorities continue to increase measures to fight Covid-19 after the postponement of next week’s Fallas fiestas was announced on Tuesday evening.
Regional president Ximo Puig made the announcement and it affects all Falla fiestas throughout the region – incluing Dénia, Pego, Gandía, Benidorm, Calpe, etc., and the Magdalena fiestas in Castellón.
A cascade of public event cancellations throughout the Costa Blanca (including popular St Patrick Day gatherings) has followed on Wednesday and yesterday and panic buying has already hit many local supermarkets.
