• Phase 3.The Board opens the internal 'borders': Andalusians will be able to travel to other provinces from Monday

The autonomous communities that from Monday enter Phase 3 of the de-escalation will allow in almost all cases free mobility between their provinces. Andalusia and the Basque Country have confirmed this Saturday that they have decided to do so after confirming on Friday that they are accessing the last phase of the plan for lack of confidence. They join the statements in the same sense that Galicia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands had already made. Of the regions that access Phase 3, only Extremadura will prevent it, so residents in Cáceres will still be unable to go to Badajoz, and vice versa.

In addition, it will also be possible to circulate between the two provinces of Castilla-La Mancha that have accessed Phase 3: Cuenca and Guadalajara.

Mobility was already assured in the rest of the autonomous regions that enter Phase 3, since they are uniprovincial: Asturias, Cantabria, La Rioja, Navarra and Murcia, in addition to the autonomous city of Melilla.

In total, in 11 autonomous communities there will be wide mobility from this Monday, and in another, Castilla-La Mancha, partially. Of course, it is still forbidden to travel from one autonomous community to another, something that according to government forecasts cannot be done until June 22, when the state of alarm ends .

In this phase, the responsibility for the control of the coronavirus becomes almost exclusively the responsibility of the autonomous communities. These are the particularities of the regions that have announced today that will allow interprovincial mobility:

Andalusia

The President of the Andalusian Government, Juanma Moreno , announced this Saturday that his Government is going to allow people to travel "freely" throughout the Autonomous Community from this coming Monday.

This was announced by the Chairman of the Board in a public statement after holding a meeting of the Covid-19 Pandemic Advisory Group at the Palacio de San Telmo in Seville, a day after the Ministry of Health confirmed that all of Andalusia will agree from Monday to Phase 3 of the de-escalation.

The Andalusian case is particularly important. It is the most populated autonomous community in Spain and an essential element in the recovery of tourism. In addition, until now the region had advanced in the de-escalation with two different speeds, one week behind the provinces of Malaga and Granada.

Basque Country

The Basque Government will allow mobility from Monday without limitation within the scope of the Basque Country and will maintain the priority time slot reserved for elderly and vulnerable people for the development of physical activity.

The advisers for Health, Nekane Murga, and Economic Development, Arantxa Tapia, explained at a press conference the characteristics of Phase 3 of the de-escalation plan for the coronavirus pandemic in the region, in which, as in the others in At this stage, the Lehendakari is competent to establish the pertinent measures.

As explained by Tapia, from Monday citizens will be able to move freely between the territories of Vizcaya, Álava and Guipúzcoa, but not between neighboring provinces of different autonomous communities , as the Basque Government had requested, since today they do not authorization is available for this.

In the previous phases, the Government had already allowed the Basque Country some mobility in specific cases between provinces. A privilege that aroused suspicions in other communities that had also requested it and those that were denied.

Estremadura

The Extremaduran autonomous community will not allow travel between its provinces, Cáceres and Badajoz, at least until June 15 , that is, after the first week in Phase 3 has passed.

This has been advanced by the second vice president and counselor for Health and Social Services, José María Vergeles , at a press conference in Mérida in which he detailed the data left by the pandemic in Phase 2, and which have allowed entry from Monday in the third and last of the de-escalation plan. Likewise, and as the Chairman of the Board already pointed out days ago, the community will not ask to leave the state of alarm before the deadline set by the Government on June 21.

In the first place, regarding the displacement between provinces, he pointed out that although the data on the evolution of the coronavirus in the community are "good", with "few cases", and with a "fairly controlled" situation, there are "differences in the origin of cases between the two provinces ", so it does not want to introduce a new element that could cause outbreaks.

Thus, he pointed out that there have been "four days with the threat of outbreaks, in one province versus another" , which is why he has chosen to "take extreme precautions".

In this regard, and linked to the decision not to open entertainment venues and nightclubs from this Monday, he pointed out that in recent days there have been breaches of social distance, on the use of masks and hygiene measures "fundamentally" in leisure venues, so it has been preferred to wait to see the result of these behaviors at least for "half an incubation period", that is, one week.

Castilla la Mancha

Cuenca and Guadalajara will have interprovincial mobility from next Monday, when both provinces pass to phase 3 of the de-escalation, so that their citizens will be able to circulate without restrictions between the two territories.

The Minister of Development of Castilla-La Mancha, Nacho Hernando , reported on Saturday that the regional government had requested that Cuenca and Guadalajara be considered as a single territorial unit in terms of mobility, and will be so starting next Monday, " without it being a problem from a legal point of view . "

Hernando has recalled the different aspects that the entry to phase 3 contemplates regarding the lifting of restrictions and gaugings, among which he has highlighted the one that has to do with the increase in capacity in bullfighting events, which the BOE publishes today.

The counselor has said that it was a request from the regional president Emiliano García-Page , and that a meeting with the sector will now be called "to see how it is also viable for them given the security conditions posed by the BOE", however which has said that the regional executive is "quite excited" with the measure
