ARCHIVED - Covid rules relaxed across Spain: restrictions update September 16
Most communities in Spain have considerably eased restrictions in recent days
As Spain continues to beat the fifth wave of the coronavirus pandemic into submission, many autonomous communities have chosen to relax several restrictions in a bid to move their regions into a state of ‘new normal’. On Thursday September 16, the Ministry of Health reported that the crucial cumulative incidence rate has dropped below 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for the first time in three months, and with hospital pressure also steadily easing, much of Spain is increasing venue capacity and opening hours.
As of Thursday, the measures are as follows:
Andalucía
The Andalucían Community has drastically reduced its restrictions on Thursday, now allowing theatres, cinemas, auditoriums, concert halls and places of worship to return to 100% capacity in all areas on level 1 alert. The number of diners at indoor tables on both level 1 and level 2 alert has increased from 6 to 8.
Balearic Islands
One of the latest measures in the Balearic Islands has to do with the Covid certificate, since national travellers who have this passport will not have to fill out the form requested by the Balearic Executive to enter the islands.
Canary Islands
As of last week, nightlife venues may open in all alert phases, but dancing is prohibited. Additionally, the regional government passed a new law that will open the door for employers to refuse to allow staff who won't show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test to attend work.
Galicia
The biggest news from Galicia this week is that the Supreme Court has ruled that Covid passports will now be required for patrons wanting to enter hospitality venues.
Likewise, other rules have been imposed regarding the opening of bars in catering establishments, which divides the hospitality industry into two levels: type one premises must maintain an interior capacity of 50%, and an exterior capacity of 75%. On the other hand, in type two premises, the capacity will be 75% indoors and 100% outdoors.
Madrid
The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced this Tuesday that as of September 20 there will be no time limits for hospitality and nightlife venues. Restaurants will be open until two in the morning and cocktail bars and nightclubs until 6am, as was the case before the pandemic. Indoor capacity goes up to 75% while outdoor terraces can fill to 100%, with ten people per table.
Murcia Region
On Wednesday, the Region of Murcia approved the reopening of indoor nightlife venues for the first time in more than two months. People still aren’t allowed to sit at the bar and a maximum of six people are permitted per table.
Valencian Community
The regional government of the Valencian Community has maintained its desire for a “prudent” de-escalation and as such, bars, restaurants and cafes must stop serving at midnight. Nightlife venues can stay open until 3am, but last orders are at 2.30am. The night-time curfew has been completely removed.
