Relaxation Points

The government has increased the percentage of seating for bar terraces from the original 30% to 50% from 11th May. Bars should be able to identify their numbers from their opening licences. If they have difficulty it may be necessary to obtain guidance from the Town Hall architect. I will discuss with him tomorrow. Customers should be least 2 meters apart.

Update The architect states that eh cannot become involved in advising on this and that it is up to the individual Bar owner to get advice from an independent architect.

There is also a relaxation from 11th May, regarding having more than one person in a private car but I am trying to clarification as to whether that will allow more than one person to shop together. I suspect that may be at the discretion of the shop. Will post when I can clarity.

Update My personal interpretation of how far you can travel is that the original rule stands eg if the supplies you want are local you should shop locally but if your need is for a product not available locally you can travel but not outside of your province eg Almeria and it should be pre ordered. It is a grey area and having read 4 different versions I am still not 100% sure and will try and get a more authoritative statement.

Additionally groups of up to 10 persons can gather together but must adhere to social distancing. This is in private homes or bar terraces. Hygienic measures must also be adhered to.

Also small shops under 400 sq metres may open but these shops must use an appointment basis with shoppers pre booking and be attended by one staff member to one client.Social distancing must be observed and barriers installed between the customer and staff. With sanitisation twice daily and a deep clean at close of business. Toilets in such premises must not be used unless exceptional circumstances.

These relaxations are subject to constant review and could change at any moment and you are always advised to check with the governmental statements.

There are many grey areas and we are trying to get clarity on specific points which I will discuss tomorrow with colleagues.
