In family meetings held at Christmas, "it is recommended to limit participation to members who belong to the same coexistence group. In the event that there is an external member who is not a regular cohabitation, the meetings will be of up to a maximum six people ".

This is established in the draft of the document 'Proposals for public health measures against Covid-19 for the celebration of the Christmas holidays', to which EL MUNDO has had access.

In addition, during the Christmas celebrations, "a nightly confinement will be maintained, not being able to go out on the streets at the times established in each autonomous community after the declaration of the state of alarm."

"On December 24 and 31, the schedule will be extended, limiting mobility from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m."

"It is recommended to avoid or minimize meetings in the social sphere (work celebrations, former students, sports clubs, etc.). If they are held, they will be of a maximum of six people and preferably outside (outdoors or in terraces with a maximum of two walls) ", adds the document prepared by the Ministry of Health, which will be taken to the Interterritorial Council for analysis and debate with the autonomous communities.

In addition, the document asks "to avoid, as a general rule, those trips that are not strictly necessary."

And he recommends that university students "who return home for the holidays, to limit social interactions the days before they return home and to take extreme prevention measures."

"Once at home, they should try to limit contact, interact mostly outdoors rather than indoors, and wear masks."

The Government strongly emphasizes that in all contexts "preventive measures must be maintained".

This is what Health calls the 6M strategy: "Mask (use of a mask as much as possible), hands (frequent hand washing), meters (maintenance of physical distance), maximize ventilation and outdoor activities (keep the windows and doors open to the extent that it is safe and feasible depending on the temperature), minimizing the number of contacts (preferably always the same ones) and 'I stay home without symptoms, diagnosis or contact' ".

For Health, "it is important to establish a common and clear framework of measures that favors that the recommendations are made in a clear, consensual and coordinated way, as well as as early as possible, so that there is enough time for the population to organize."

This planning is also relevant for the commercial sector "and its preparation to adapt its business to the recommended measures on these dates".

The document asks "to plan a different Christmas without taking away the soul and spirit that makes them one of the most appreciated holidays by the public", for this reason it proposes "that if horseback rides are carried out, alternatives are proposed that guarantee compliance with hygiene regulations and prevention ", as, for example," static horseback riding ".

These recommendations require a work of "coordination between all levels, national, regional and local, working together with municipalities and merchant organizations," the document concludes.
