New Exercise Rules and link to another explanation

Starting this weekend, adults in Spain will now be allowed to go outside to walk and exercise. There are set time slots for when people can leave their homes from Saturday 2 May – for towns with over 5,000 residents.

Walks and individual exercise for adults must be taken between 6am-10am or between 8pm-11pm. Two adults will be able to take walks together for one hour. Adults should not walk further than one kilometre away from where they live. All kinds of sports (jogging, cycling, skating) are allowed as long as they are practised individually, but still within a 1km radius of home. Most beaches remain closed in Spain, and therefore water sports are still not permitted.

Adults should maintain social distancing and not make contact with third parties, and the walks and exercise must be within their own municipality of residence. Adults should not drive to another town to then commence a walk.

Those needing assistance or to be accompanied during walks, as well as those aged over 70, should take their walks between 10am and 12 noon or between 7pm-8pm.

Walks with children should now only be taken between 12 noon and 7pm – and still within one kilometre from home. Since Sunday, children had previously been allowed out for an hour’s walk between 9am and 9pm (see below).

In towns with under 5,000 residents, people will be allowed to take walks and exercise between 6am and 11pm. There are around 7,000 towns and villages in Spain with less than 5,000 inhabitants, representing approximately 12% of the population.

THIS INCLUDES US IN ZURGENA!

Last Saturday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that adults would be able to leave home for individual physical exercise and walks from Saturday 2 May, ‘if the evolution of the pandemic keeps moving in a positive manner’.

Today’s figures (below) released by the Health Ministry confirm that 24,543 people have now died from the pandemic in Spain, up by 268 on yesterday – but it is the lowest daily increase since 20 March.

Since Sunday 26 April, children up to the age of 14 in Spain have been allowed to go our for daily walks and exercise, after 43 days of confinement. They are officially allowed to be out for up to an hour a day, accompanied by an adult, but no further than one kilometre from home. They were originally permitted to take the daily walk at any time between 9am and 9pm, but this has now been changed from between 12 noon and 7pm.
