These people were housed in the Coto Dorda Residence, managed by Cáritas and the Santa Teresa Hospitality, managed by Huertecica, with the aim of avoiding infections and working to reduce their social problems, and in many cases, addictions.

”The mayor has also indicated that "during these last weeks and once the Alarm State has ended, we have started to relocate all these people, who in no case can return to the street."
