The Junta de Andalucía appealed against the ruling of the High Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA), issued on 12 July, in order to prevent the confinement of Peal de Becerro. The Supreme Court has admitted the appeal and has justified the Government of that community, considering that the decision taken was "necessary, proportionate and timely", annulling the order of the Andalusian National Court.

Europe Press, for its part, has reported on the situation in Covite. The Supreme has taken into account, among other things, that in this municipality the incidence of Covid-19 cases was very high and that among them there were many asymptomatic ones that, as a result of mobility, "aggravated pollution in the surrounding villages". In addition, he said that the confinement decree was "proportionate", as it only contemplated the closure of a week and also the possibility of it being suspended.

Precisely, following this ruling, the Board has reported that it will not implement this confinement, as since 12 July the situation of the municipality has improved considerably (725.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days). In any case, the ruling of the Supreme could open the way to the implementation of this type of confinement in other autonomous communities, as explained in the Goizak Gaur program of the Basque Country Irratia.
