With the accumulated incidence increasing more and more (yesterday there was a AI of 132 cases per 100,000 inhabitants at 14 days), the situation in Spain is not the most encouraging. A few weeks ago the incidence was around 50 cases, or even below this figure.
Now, the Ministry of Health is considering the possibility of re-establish a series of measures that seemed forgotten. Thus, he proposes toughen measures and recommendations on the new COVID-19 traffic light.
Night closing of hotels and leisure
The bars and restaurants close at 23:00 for all areas that are in risk zone 2 (cumulative incidence of 100 to 300 cases) and high hospital pressure, from 5% to 10% and from 10 to 15% in the ICU. In addition, two new criteria are added: in the last seven days, hospital admissions for COVID-19 must be between 15 and 30 per 100,000 inhabitants, and in ICUs from 2 to 3. At the moment, only the premise of the incidence is fulfilled.
In addition, the Ministry is studying the option of closing of the nightlife at 01:00 hours and the “song and dance with a mask” inside these types of establishments. These two new modifications appear in the second draft of the Communication of Alerts and Preparedness and Response Plans of the Ministry. But the draft still has to be reviewed by the Public Health Commission. As explained 20 minutesIt has been the autonomous communities that have asked the Ministry of Health to limit nighttime activity.
In addition to limited hours, the proposal includes a maximum occupancy of 10 people per table or 50% indoors and, if the incidence is between 300 and 500 cases, Health proposes that the hotel and catering establishments open only at 25% of their capacity, with six people per table and close at 23:00.
