Last minute Coronavirus Spain today, live news
Health: The EU recommends mandatory quarantines, in addition to PCR, given the advance of the coronavirus
"The only safe place is the family bubble."
With these premises, the Government of
Galicia
has decided to apply new
restrictions
due to the coronavirus as of Wednesday 27 and in the entire community the hotel industry is closed, the closing time of non-essential commerce is brought forward at 6:00 p.m. and it is established that during on weekends the shopping centers will not be able to open.
This was announced this Monday by the president of the
Xunta de Galicia
, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who speaks of "unprecedented" figures on the evolution of the coronavirus, with 993 people hospitalized, of which 161 are in
ICU
, close to the 178 maximum that arrived to register in the first wave of the
pandemic
.
All measures will be applicable throughout Galicia for a minimum period of three weeks, until February 17.
In addition, the curfew is maintained "unfortunately" at 10:00 pm, as Feijóo recalls that his intention is to bring it forward to 8:00 pm, but is met with rejection by the central government.
The Galician president considers that it is a "cry that the Government allows us to" and recalls that "we do not have the capacity to reduce it to 8:00 pm, as we want."
To reduce mobility, it has been decided that the 313 municipalities of
Galicia
will have individual perimeter closure, so that it is only possible to leave and enter the residence hall for justified reasons.
In addition, measures are adopted against the coronavirus in education.
The three Galician universities will resume classes on February 8 and, during the first week, there can only be
online
classes
.
As of February 17, face-to-face education can be resumed.
In the rest of the educational levels, no changes are foreseen.
Meetings only for partners
Within the new measures that will be activated at 00:00 on Wednesday, the Xunta limits social gatherings to only cohabitating people.
"Do not mix with people who are not part of your coexistence unit," asked
Feijóo
in his appearance, in which he also recalled that visits to the sick are restricted in Galician hospitals and only authorized to care for people with dependence.
The closure of the hospitality industry will be total and will only allow home delivery, take-out food and the activity of the canteens in work centers and hospitals.
In the case of essential shops, such as supermarkets, car workshops or pharmacies, the opening hours may continue until 9:30 p.m.
Feijóo also bets on telecommuting to stop the coronavirus pandemic.
Although the work centers may continue to be open and travel to the workplace is authorized, he asks for "collaboration to bet on teleworking".
In addition, sports practice is restricted to the limits of each municipality and will have to be individual.
Likewise, gyms and sports centers are closed and only national and international federated competitions are authorized.
The request of the clinical committee of experts that Feijóo transferred this Monday also calls for older people to confine themselves, because "they are still the most vulnerable" and must stay at home "until they have a vaccine."
Feijóo has warned that "there are still very hard times", with these "unpublished" contagion figures, hence the decision to apply this maximum level of
restrictions
throughout
Galicia
, to try to reduce the occupation of hospitals and ICU units , to "save as many lives as possible."
