The Minister for Health in Spain has today confirmed that from Sunday June 21st we will be able to circulate throughout Spain with total freedom, as the state of alarm will decline. And this will apply even in those zones or areas that have not completed all the phases of the de-escalation plan, such as the Community of Madrid, the metropolitan area of Barcelona or some provinces of Castilla y León.
At a press conference, Salvador Illa, Minister of Health, made this clear from the Palacio de La Moncloa. He appeared before the media to explain the phase changes that will take effect on June 15. Galicia, he announced, will leave the state of alarm to enter the "new normal".
Except for Madrid, Barcelona and its metropolitan area, part of Lleida, Ávila, Salamanca, Segovia and Soria, the rest of Spain will enter Phase III on Monday 22nd June. According to the government the epidemiological situation allows it.
Faced with a possible outbreak of the epidemic in the autumn, he explained, the Executive will have an alternative to this exceptional situation for a new confinement or the limitation of movements if necessary. However, Illa wanted to highlight that the state of alarm is a "constitutional instrument" that "has worked very well", as has been demonstrated.
He stated that "if it has to be used again, hopefully it will not be used, it will be used, but it is the instrument that today allows us to control mobility."
Consequently, he called for the interpersonal distance of at least 1.5 meters to be respected and for the mask to be used when it is not possible to maintain that separation. Also, frequent hand washing and extreme hygiene in public and private spaces. He reiterated that with everyone complying with these measures, there is "a lot of livestock".
To finish, he wanted to emphasize that from June 21, Spain recovers normality. Also regarding the competence framework of the Autonomous Communities.
