ARCHIVED - Murcia Region moves into phase 3 on Monday
Murcia has been permitted to move into phase 3
On Friday the Ministry of Health accepted the petition of the Murcia Regional Government to move into phase 3, and from Monday 8th June restrictions within the region will be further relaxed.
The state of emergency was extended this week until midnight on the 21st June and this is the final period of transition, following which Spain enters the "new normal".
On Tuesday Cabinet will discuss the transition into the "new normal" and issue guidelines relating to areas which must still be controlled after this date, such as the wearing of masks in the street, opening of borders etc.
What does this mean in practical terms?
All the existing phase 2 measures remain in place, so residents can go to the beach, go for a swim in the sea or communal pool if it is open, shop wherever they want to and with a partner if they so desire, drive wherever they want to providing it is within the Murcia Region, eat out in a restaurant or take day trips, all within the boundaries of the Murcia Region.
NO travel outside of the Murcia Region is permitted and no travel to the region is permitted other than for merchant traffic or for various work-related reasons considered essential.
Masks must be worn in situations where social distancing is not possible and contact cannot be avoided and in enclosed spaces, such as shopping centres or shops.
Please note; the conditions may well be changed before Monday and any amendments will be published in the BOE on Saturday.
From Monday 8th June the following changes will occur as the Murcia Region moves into phase 3.
- There is no limit to the time permitted for exercising. This means that non-federated sportspeople can walk or practise any type of sport whenever and wherever they want to (within reasonable social limitations of course).
- Visits to those living in residencias for the elderly are now permitted (within clear guidelines and limited to one hour) and without physical contact.
- Indoor bar seating areas are now permitted to open, with social distancing observed. This means that it is possible once again to sit at the bar and have a bit of tapas or a coffee, rather than being forced to sit away from the bar. Outdoor terraces can increase their capacity to 75% (please note. The Murcian regional government does have discretion in this area and may choose to change this before Monday).
- Weddings may be held in all types of facilities, whether in open or closed spaces, provided that they do not exceed 75% of their capacity, and a maximum of 150 people in open spaces or 75 people in closed places may attend.
- Sports competitions can resume.
- All types of retail stores can admit up to 50% of their total capacity regardless of their surface area.
- Recreational and public areas of shopping centres may open 40% of their normal area
- The common areas in hotels and tourist accommodation can also open to 50% of their capacity.
- Cultural activities can resume in libraries and museums.
- All cinemas, theatres, auditoriums, circuses etc may resume activity, operating a pre-booked seats system and with a maximum capacity of 50% inside the venue.
- The group size for active tourism activities is extended to 30 people. Maximum group sizes of 20 people will be permitted with a guide but audio guides and brochures will not be allowed.
- Congresses (or business seminars etc) may be held with a limit of 80 attendees.
- Zoos and aquariums can re-open at 50% of their capacity.
- Casinos, gambling and recreational halls, raffles, tombolas, betting shops can re-open with 50% capacity. All casino chips and cards must be sanitised after each use.
- Organised activities directed at children and young people will be permitted, with a maximum of 200 people in open spaces and 80 indoors.
- Maximum groups of 20 people are permitted to gather in public places and there are no restrictions on the composition of the groups, although security and hygiene measures must be observed, particularly if those considered to be vulnerable are included. There is no limit on the period during which exercise can be undertaken.
- Funeral wakes can be held in all public or private facilities with a maximum limit of 50 people in open spaces or 25 in closed spaces.
Non-officially: Many markets are now resuming 100% capacity and permitting a wider range of stallholders.
