Well, the press conference has just been held.
Most Covid rules have been relaxed, but not all. The lockdown is over, but letting go of the rules entirely like the rest of Europe is still not something our politicians will consider. So, here's a list.
Improvements:
- All essential and non essential stores can open from 05.00 to 22.00
- All restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and cultural institutions and events can re open at the same times
- All contact sports and businesses may resume their activities
More of the same as before:
- Night clubs, discotheques, hotels etc still have to stay closed at night unless it's only for sleeping (in hotels), a hotel can have guests in their rooms but they can't have a bar open at night
- You can only enter any public leisure place with a QR code, only essential stores and facilities are accesible without it
- Masks are obligatory in all public spaces unless you are sitting down at a designated area
- Social distancing is still mandatory
- People should work from home as much as possible
In 3 weeks we're going back in lockdown if the numbers become too high which they say they will likely be. This while the WHO has said we're in the endgame of this pandemic, but our government says they disagree because well as usual our government is special..
In other words, back and forth as they have been through the entire pandemic.
