A minor drama unfolded in Salobreña yesterday afternoon in the Plaza Francisco Ramírez de Madrid - in front of the Sirocco bar.
Around 14.00h the Guardia Civil arrived at a block entrance on the other side of the square, followed by the fire service. After about 30 minutes an ambulance arrived.
What had happened was relatives had tried to contact an elderly woman who was by herself at the time but she wasn’t answering the telephone. Her husband was seriously ill in hospital, which was why she was by herself.
Having received a call for assistance, the Guardia Civil went around to the address given and found the woman, seriously ill with Covid – which is why she was unable to answer the phone.
Between the police, the fire personnel and ambulance crew they managed to get the woman out of her flat and down stairs on a gurney and then she was driven by ambulance to Hospital Santa Ana so that she could be hospitalised.
