Fuerteventura Alert Level

 The fact that Fuerteventura goes to level three or red traffic light today, Monday has consequences . For example, the permanence of groups of people, both in public and private spaces, becomes a maximum of four individuals, except in the case that they are living together, two less than with level two.

One of the measures set by the autonomous community with the greatest impact - consult the full document here - is that with alert level three "the exit and entry of people is restricted" to the island, "except for justified displacements", as reasons professionals, assistance to medical or educational centers.

However, the Minister of Health, Blas Trujillo, announced this Thursday that, for Easter, between March 26 and April 9, mobility between islands is restricted, except for the stipulated exceptions . In order to move beyond the exceptions, a negative diagnostic test will be required.

The curfew with the red traffic light is generally between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., one hour less than with alert level two.

As for the hospitality industry, the most prominent measure is that they have to close the interior of the establishments, while the outdoor terraces have to limit their capacity to 50 percent, with four people per table.

Thus, bar consumption becomes prohibited, which with level two could be in groups of two people, and the complete closure of the establishment must take place before 10 pm.

In commercial establishments the maximum capacity is 33 percent inside the premises, and the use of recreational or children's areas is prohibited, "unless disinfection can be guaranteed after each use."

The markets that are held periodically have their capacity limited to 33 percent indoors and 50 percent outdoors (previously it was 50 and 75 percent, respectively).

A suggestion and complaints box has been installed next to the 'employees' room, in garage A so that all owners who wish to, can express themselves on Community issues.
