Andalucia Reducing Restrictions In Three Phases

Andalucia Reducing Restrictions In Three Phases. Phase One begins on Sunday and will see bars and restaurants opening until midnight.

Andalucia Reducing Restrictions In Three Phases

The state of alarm in Spain ends on Sunday the 9th May. The Junta de Andalucia have now confirmed the restrictions which will be in place on a regional level from Sunday. The Regional President had already confirmed earlier this week that there will be no curfew in place.

The regional border is set to re-open on Sunday.

Three Phase Plan

Restrictions will be reduced across Andalucia in three phases. However, the new restrictions will not apply to municipalities with an accumulated coronavirus incidence rate greater than 500 cases per 100,000 people.

Phase One

The first phase begins on Sunday, and will be in place until the 31st May. The key changes are:

Andalucia’s regional border will re-open
Restaurants and bars will be permitted to open until midnight
Nightclubs can open until 2am (masks must be worn on dancefloors)
Groups of 6 people will be allowed on terraces
Groups of 4 people will be allowed together inside venues
There will no limit on the number of people meeting in private homes

Phase three will not begin until 40% of the population have received the vaccine.

Phases Two & Three

Phase two will begin on the 1st June. This will allow for increased numbers at events, theatres, and cinemas. Beaches and pools will no longer have restricted opening times. Masks and social distancing will still be compulsory.

Phase three will begin on the 21st June, subject to vaccination targets being met. These include 70% of the population receiving one dose, and 40% of the population being completely vaccinated. When phase three begins, almost all restrictions will be removed and Andalucia will enter “the new normal”.
