Tragedy in Zicatela - RIP Oscar Serra

 

Spanish surfer Oscar Serra, 22, died this Saturday while surfing on Zicatela beach in Puerto Escondido, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the Spanish Surfing Federation confirmed this Sunday.

"A day of big waves in Zicatela (Puerto Escondido) has given us a very hard blow ... Our most sincere condolences to family and friends for the loss of Oscar Serra. There are no words to describe so much pain ... Life is many sometimes unfair. DEP, "the agency wrote on the social network Twitter.

According to the Mexican newspaper El Universal, the event took place at 7 a.m. local time on the beach of the tourist town of Puerto Escondido. The municipal authorities had decreed the area with a red flag due to the swell, but, according to what they point out, the Valencian surfer entered the water.

While surfing the top of a wave, Serra fell from a height of two meters and hit the seabed. The rescuers rescued him and applied first aid, but they were unable to revive him, so they proceeded to remove his body and report it to the Spanish embassy in Mexico. According to the same media, nine people have drowned on the beaches of the Costa de Oaxaca region so far in 2021.

Spanish coronavirus patients are taking trips to the seaside as part of their recovery from the illness.

Coronavirus: Barcelona beach trip for recovering patients

Medical teams at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona have been photographed wheeling people to the beach as part of a programme designed to humanise intensive care units.

In total, Spain has confirmed 239,932 infections and 27,127 deaths.

The government has slowly begun to ease what was one of Europe's most restrictive lockdowns.

At one point people could not go out to exercise and children were not allowed to leave their homes for any reason.

But Spain has brought its outbreak under control in recent weeks.

Tuesday was the second day running that Spain did not report a single coronavirus death over the previous 24 hours.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez asked parliament for one further extension to the state of emergency until 21 June.

"We have overcome the worst of the pandemic," Mr Sanchez said. But opposition parties have criticised his response to the outbreak and the repeated extensions of the state of emergency.
