If you have any useful information (confirmed as factual!) affecting activities in Orba which is not on this page, please send an email to us
The Emergency telephone number for coronavirus in the Comunidad Valenciana is 900 300 555. Please save the number in your phone and call
if you have symptoms and think that you may be infected. Self isolate immediately at home.
DO NOT attend any Emergency Department, hospital center, health centre or Doctors surgery, as by doing so you could transmit the virus to other people with other existing health problems.
When you call this number, they will conduct a survey and if it is positive, they will tell you how to act and will send someone out to take tests.

Covid Digital EU Certificate
You can now apply for the Covid Digital EU certificate, which allows you to move freely and securely within the European Union.
The certificate is free of charge and accessible to everyone. To obtain it, you must have received at least one dose of the vaccine, have had a diagnostic test or have been clear of Covid 19 for 180 days before travelling.
You can also apply for a vaccination certificate if you have received any doses of vaccines. This certificate allows you to prove that you have received one or two doses of one of the EU-approved vaccines. It is valid for 365 days from the date of vaccination. You can request either of the two documents by clicking on this link http://coronavirus.san.gva.es/es/certificado-digital-ue
Vitamin D is very important for our immune system and tests have shown that patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who had insufficient levels of vitamin D had increased risk of adverse outcomes. Even though we get more Vitamin D from natural sources (the sun!) here in Spain, most people's levels are still low, particularly older people.
