Plan of De-Escalation

Starting on May 2, it will be allowed to go out for physical activities if the evolution is favorable. "You can go out to play sports individually or go for a walk with the person with whom we live."  "If the current evolution continues we can consider de-escalation." "We must be very careful, there is no road map, we are facing something unknown. There is no country that has completed the de-escalation towards a new normality ».

 "The de-escalation will be gradual," says Sánchez. "In the de-escalation we will not advance at the same speed, but we will advance with the same rules." "We go in together and we will go out together."

Sánchez: "The results we have obtained in this first stage have been achieved thanks to unity." "You have to avoid entering a sort of race to see who comes out first." "We are interdependent, if this epidemic has demonstrated anything, it is that it does not attend to interprovincial boundaries." Sánchez will present the de-escalation plan on Tuesday.

Sánchez will present the de-escalation plan on Tuesday.  "Completing the de-escalation should lead us to the new normal that will rule our lives until there is a therapeutic remedy or vaccine to protect us."

De-Escalation of the Lockdown

The Canary Islands will  propose to Pedro Sánchez, this Sunday, a plan to start this Monday - April 27 - the partial de-escalation of the confinement established to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The regional government's approach consists of  four phases to be carried out in four weeks  and would start with a process to allow the population's access to the street divided into two groups: people who are domiciled in houses located in even numbers could go out on even days and those who live in houses with odd numbers on odd days of the calendar - in a maximum of three people together or the family that lives together.

In addition, the Archipelago plan suggests that children under the age of 14 can go from 16:00 to 19:00 . In the first phase they could not to parks. Then it will be seen. In the case of  the elderly, they will be allowed to leave their houses from 11:00 to 13:00 .

Access to second residences would be limited , from the outset, for animal care or orchards on individual trips.

The Canary project also suggests that  outdoor sports can be carried out at two times: from 5.00 to 9.00 or from 20.00 to 23.00 . This permit establishes that  you can walk a maximum of two kilometers from your home and run a maximum of four kilometers from your home . The gyms will be able to open, from the second week, with limited capacity and you can go hiking one hour away from home - at most.

The population should always wear a mask if they are going to enter closed spaces  - not for running or walking. In addition, public events of more than 50 people cannot be held and the cinemas and theaters may open for fifty spectators or a third of the capacity - in separate rows and seats.

The hotels will be able to open from the second week with a 50% capacity  and the presence of people in funeral homes is expanded to 10 family members.

The  small shops , during the first week,  will open with limited capacity . The plan recommends not to go shopping, but to a specific store. In the case of shopping centers, they can be started from the second week.

The activity of the hairdressers will be activated during the first week , although the clients will have to come with masks.

Access to the beach will be considered from the second week  to allow it in weeks three and four with conditions: maximum one hour from home and keeping distance.

The opening of restaurants in the Canary Islands is projected for the last two weeks of the plan  and they will only be able to admit 50% of capacity - always with a reservation and for no more than four people per table.

On May 18 you could travel between islands  and there is no fixed date for the opening of the Islands for tourists or non-residents, although it is established that  people who want to enter the Canary Islands must certify a negative PCR upon leaving their place of origin . Otherwise, you must spend 14 days confined when entering the Archipelago.

Update on Lockdown

Spanish children will be able to leave home from April 27. The five weeks of confinement they accumulate will be alleviated with limited exits and subject to conditions to avoid contagions

Possible lifting of the Lockdown

The Government will initiate the de-escalation of confinement due to the coronavirus in the Canary Islands. This is reflected in a work plan of the Ministry of Health to which national media have had access. It is a document that proposes to convert the Canary archipelago into a kind of pilot test before making decisions that affect the whole of Spain, especially the peninsula .

Moncloa has several scenarios on the table that, in practically all cases, would go through a third request for an extension of the state of alarm next week. The roadmap of the transition strategy committee involves taking decisions wisely and gradually based on the data and the opinion of the experts.

The start of the de-escalation in the Canary Islands, according to the plans of the Executive, could start to run in the middle of next week.  Minors, with permission to go for a walk accompanied by an adult, and those who want to do outdoor sports, will be the first to start walking on the street normally. Of course, they will always have to wear protective masks.
