The period in which applications for pupils to be admitted to schools for the next academic year has been extended until 21st April. In addition, for the next 14 days applications may only be presented online. During the confinement period applications may not be presented in person, and parents are asked to respect the rules regarding isolation.
The responsibility for halting the spread of the coronavirus is shared by all of us and it is essential to remain at home, going out only if it is necessary for reasons of work, for medical appointments and to acquire essential products.

What to do if you are in the Region of Murcia and believe you may have contracted the virus
The regional government has set up a special helpline to supply information to members of the public (900 121212), and also urges people to call the 112 emergency services line if they suspect that they may have contracted the virus rather than going straight to hospital or to a medical centre. Medical staff will be sent to your home to test for the virus.
The Region’s public hospitals have limited the number of visitors to just one per patient.
Sensible precautions
The advice being issued to members of the public by medical authorities all over the world coincides on the following points:
- Wash hands frequently with either soap and water or a sanitiser gel
- Catch coughs and sneezes with disposable tissues – and throw the tissues away immediately after use before immediately washing your hands!
- If you don’t have a tissue, use your sleeve – and wash the item of clothing used at the next opportunity
- AVOID touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
- AVOID close contact with people who are unwell
- Don´t panic!
