The Andalusian Health Authorities have requested venues from town halls where PCRs can be given to take the load off Hospital Santa Ana and medical centres.

They have approached towns on the Costa Tropical, as well as La Alpujarra and consequently, both Almuñécar and Motril have offered such locations.

In the case of Motril, the Town Hall has ceded the La Matraquilla Civic Centre, which is located on the Plaza de la Coronación so that medical staff can carry out PCR testing, as well as fast testing.

Until now they were carried out in the medical centre on Avenida de Salobreña. This had been a little chaotic as the building is undergoing renovation work.

The Health Authorities have been in conversations with the Almuñécar Town Hall but as yet no suitable location has been agreed.
