reports Javier Ortega
.
The measure should take effect at 00:00 this Saturday.
Now, the regional Executive and the Public Prosecutor's Office have until midnight on December 15 to present their allegations.
In the car,
the TSJA points out that the reason why the need to show the vaccination certificate has been extended to cinemas, theaters, gyms and the like has not been justified, at least so far
.
Nor does it consider that it is necessary to require it in hospitals or residences and points out that the latter are regulated by the Ministry of Citizenship and Social Rights.
The intention of the regional Executive was that all these measures would come into force from this midnight and remain, at least, until January 8.
This was defined by the TSJA itself in the cars issued last week and that gave the green light to the application of the document in nightlife and in crowded spaces, with more than 500 people inside and 1,000 outside.

Alerta por el aumento de contagios y mortalidad por covid en Europa
El Centro Europeo para la Prevención y el Control de Enfermedades (ECDC) ha alertado de que la situación epidemiológica en Europa se caracteriza por una notificación de casos "elevada y en rápido incremento" y por una tasa de mortalidad que aumenta lentamente, informa Efe.
El ECDC pronosticó además que, a lo largo de esta semana, crecerá el número de casos notificados, los ingresos hospitalarios y la mortalidad en varios países, entre ellos España.
Los datos del informe, que se refieren a la semana del 29 de noviembre al 5 de diciembre, se deben en gran parte a la alta tasa de transmisión de la variante delta, que ha contrarrestado el efecto de las campañas de vacunación, señala la entidad con sede en Suecia.
El organismo ha clasificado a ocho países como "de muy alto riesgo" (República Checa, Francia, Alemania, Liechtenstein, Luxemburgo, Países Bajos, Noruega y Polonia); mientras que denominó a 11 "de alto riesgo"; a diez, entre ellos España, "de riesgo moderado" y a uno "de bajo riesgo".
