  • Confinement: Congress approves extending the state of alarm until April 26 and Pedro Sánchez anticipates that he will request another extension

The Government has begun to disseminate a guide of good practices to resume non-essential activity on Monday, and it does so by demanding that companies protect their workers with the appropriate material -masks, gloves, insulating screens ...-, the same products that the State could not guarantee its toilets for days and, moreover, only 48 hours in advance.

The Executive also advises that anyone who has been in contact with people who may be affected by Covid-19, "even when they do not have symptoms", go to their job. Nor should pregnant women, people with previous pathologies and those of advanced age but still in employment. These groups must contact their doctor to request the withdrawal.

For three days, the European Agency for Disease Control, has issued the recommendation to use "hygienic" masks and, consequently, the Executive assumes it as its own for travel by public transport to workplaces. However, the Government recommends moving in a private vehicle, on foot or by bicycle.

In this sense, the Interior Minister, Fernando Grande Marlaska, has warned that despite the return to activity of some sectors, citizens remain under conditions of confinement that "cannot be relaxed." And he explained that masks will be distributed, on Monday and Tuesday, in the main public transport nodes of the country and in the nearby stations. These masks will be available "exclusively" for those who must use public transport - metro, train or buses - to go to work. The minister has assured that the amount to be distributed will be 10 million units. However, it has also specified that no one will be forced to use them if they do not want to.

At the aforementioned points, the presence of the members of the Security Forces will be reinforced "to make verifications" regarding the veracity of the transfer, to distribute the masks and to ensure that the exceptional rules of the state of alarm are complied with. Volunteers from the National Civil Protection System, some 350,000 people, all under the hand of the Ministry of the Interior, will join this service.

In this way, the Government tries to prevent the return to activity of the non-essential sectors that have been unemployed for 10 days, suppose a rebound in infections just when the daily figures of new patients and deceased begin to slow down. In the event of new escalations of the pandemic, the Health Minister, Salvador Illa, has not ruled out new, more harsh and restrictive measures.
