Alcal? Meco a?sla a la mitad de sus reclusas por gripe A
La mitad de las reclusas que cumplen condena en la c?rcel de mujeres de Alcal? Meco permanecen en aislamiento a causa de un brote de gripe A. Los primeros casos, una decena, se detectaron el jueves pasado. Las reclusas que ten?an s?ntomas gripales fueron trasladadas a un m?dulo para que no entraran en contacto con sus compa?eras y los dos m?dulos de los que proven?an fueron aislados. En el reconocimiento m?dico de ayer se detectaron m?s casos. Ya son 19 las personas con probable gripe A, pero a seis se les dio el alta m?dica porque ya no ten?an s?ntomas.
Instituciones Penitenciarias inform? ayer de que hab?a sido necesario aislar un tercer m?dulo, con lo que el n?mero de internas que no pueden recibir visitas ni salir a las zonas comunes ya ronda los tres centenares. Alcal? Meco tiene ahora mismo a 600 mujeres cumpliendo condena o a la espera de juicio.
En julio se produjo otro brote de gripe A en la c?rcel de hombres, que afect? a unas 80 personas, la gran mayor?a reclusos, aunque tambi?n se contagiaron algunos funcionarios. Uno de los enfermos fue trasladado al hospital, pero se le dio de alta a los pocos d?as. En la c?rcel de mujeres, todos los casos est?n siendo leves, inform? una portavoz de Instituciones Penitenciarias. En toda Espa?a se han contabilizado 400 casos de probable gripe A en las prisiones.
Alcal? Meco isolates half their prisoners by influenza A
Half of the inmates serving sentences in the women's prison in Alcal? Meco remain in isolation because of an outbreak of influenza A. The first cases, a dozen, were found last Thursday. Inmates who had flu-like symptoms were transferred to a module to not come into contact with their partners and two were from other modules that were isolated. In the medical screening detected more cases yesterday. Already there are 19 people with probable influenza A, but six were given medical discharge because they had no symptoms.
Prisons said yesterday that it had been necessary to isolate a third module, bringing the number of inmates who can not have visitors or go out to the common areas and around three hundred. Alcal? Meco has now 600 women serving sentences or awaiting trial.
In July there was another outbreak of influenza A in the men's prison, which affected 80 people, most inmates, although some staff were infected. One of the patients was taken to hospital but he was released a few days. In the women's prison, all cases are mild, a spokeswoman of Corrections.
