The

remains in suspense about four million locals, who live with

since last October 9, the

date on which the central government ordered to

The

of which met Monday 10 days, worries and doubts about when they

can move freely not stop raiding.

Here, we answer some of the main questions on this topic.

When does the state of alarm end?

The

in Madrid capital and eight other municipalities -

- was decreed for a period of 15 calendar days, which are fulfilled

, as well that, in principle, that is the day to mark on the calendar as the last with

under that figure and Saturday, October 24 as the first without limitations.

Could the central government extend the state of alarm as it did in the first wave of the pandemic?

Yes, but it would need the

to be able to extend it.

The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, promised a few days ago with the

not to request the extension of the

another 15 days, according to the regional government, although nothing is assured.

Does that mean that restrictions could end on Friday?

No. It is very likely that if the state of alarm ends, the regional government will decree

to continue containing the number of infected, which, although it has decreased in recent days, continues to be high in the community.

And it could take effect immediately.

In addition, the National Government is working on a new plan to stop

with

according to which

.

A level at which, according to the Health draft, it could "limit the mobility of people, perimeter closures or other restrictions on movement", in addition to a 25% capacity for commerce or transport in buses, subways, trains and planes 30%.

Although the same text states that "the decision on what measures and when to apply them will be taken by the autonomous communities."

And could the measures affect the same municipalities?

It could, although if the decision is in the hands of the autonomous communities it is likely that the measures will not affect the entire town if it is not necessary.

The Community of Madrid continues to support a system of

for

, which could once again limit mobility and activity only in those areas that have a higher incidence of the virus.

We will have to wait for the latest data to know which ones will be affected.

The latest restrictions applied by the Executive of Isabel Díaz Ayuso included those areas that have had 750 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days.

So could they also be applied in other locations?

Yes. In fact, the Community of Madrid has imposed

on towns with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants at the same time that the

was in effect

and they could be maintained or even extended.

Some localities that have significantly improved their data could also be left out, as happened to

, which was included in the first restrictions imposed by Illa and yet was left out of the state of alarm.

And how long could they last?

The answer to this question is an enigma because it depends on how the virus progresses.

Experts say that we have not yet reached the peak of the second wave and the worst could be yet to come if the people of Madrid do not comply with the

gatherings of more than six people are prohibited inside homes and outdoors in the entire Community of Madrid - and the

of the authorities - and the regional government has asked that they only leave home for what is strictly necessary.

What differences would there be between the measures of the state of alarm and those new norms that Ayuso could decree?

The

previously decreed by the

are the same as those contemplated by the central Executive with the state of alarm with the difference that the latter has

all those

with more than 100,000 inhabitants with more than 500 cases of

in 14 days and the regional government only to the

with more than 1,000 cases in the beginning and with 750, later.

Everything now depends on that new plan that Health is finalizing and that could in some way force Madrid to impose more severe restrictions if the numbers continue to rise.

And what are the restrictions that are in place so far?

Residents of the
