More Covid trackers requested as infections soar

The Armed Forces already have around 500 trackers in different territories and the Head of the Ministry of Defence, Margarita Robles stressed that since the Baluarte mission began, on September 30, 2020, the Armed Forces have supported all Autonomous Communities that have requested military trackers, but she acknowledged that the numbers had fallen as cases decreased.

In recent weeks the Ministry of Defence received several requests for more military trackers and an extra 30 were deployed to the Balearic Islands and Cantabria, 20 to Asturias and Aragon, 12 to the Canary Islands and 12 to Navarre.
