The Government spokeswoman and Finance Minister, María Jesús Montero, has taken this morning for a fact that from April 26, when the second extension of the state of alarm will end, the confinement of the Spanish will end and the so-called process of " de-escalated ". Although the Executive has been aiming at transition measures for days to allow mobility again, Montero has confirmed today that this phase will begin after the 26th. "From then on, de-escalation will develop, the way in which progressively, ordered, the citizens will be able to recover their normal life and the occupation of the street, of the squares ". The minister has insisted that it will be something "very controlled" to avoid new infections.

Although the Executive assures that he does not want to advance anything nor "speculate" Montero has assured that he works with "different scenarios" and that the technicians will decide with the data collected in these next two weeks. This information will "decide" the final decision, the most suitable formula to get out of total confinement, and "at that moment, clear instructions will be given so that everyone knows what they can and cannot do."

The figures already point to a slowdown in the spread of the virus, even though the deceased continue to rise every day. Despite the fact that the Government is trying to offer citizens some optimism so that they can visualize a way out of confinement, the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, stressed yesterday that "minimum days of exigency remain" and asked that there be no "relaxation". Illa, in some way also pointed out, to changes in the current regime from the end of April.

One of the possibilities in which it works is that the transition measures are different, depending on each territory, depending on the incidence of the virus. The deputy director of the Center for Coordination of Health Alerts and Emergencies (CCAES), María José Sierra, pointed out yesterday, who said that "one of the key points" is whether no personalized measures will be adopted for each autonomous community.

One of the "evaluations" being analyzed is whether to de-escalate "at the same time," he explained. "I do not have the answer yet because we continue to analyze everything. You have to see what happens these weeks and decisions will be made based on what we are seeing. We do not yet have the consolidated answers," he acknowledged.
