For days the prime minister, Jean castex, and the Minister of Health, Olivier VeranWe reiterate that for the moment a total lack of refinement is excluded, and we will proceed to a relaxation of the rules in three stages, as announced by the government spokesman, Gabriel Attal. The data of the pandemic give hope, which record a fall in new infections and victims in addition to exceeding the peak confirmed by the country’s health authorities last week.

Longer times for restaurants to reopen
However, with the reopening of the “nonessential” stores, it is not said that travel restrictions will be removed, at least between cities, hopefully for a green light for those in the city. However, for the full reopening of bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters and cinemas, it may be necessary to wait for the third stage which could even be postponed until January. A second phase of easing restrictions could occur in conjunction with the start of school holidays, on December 18, for the end of the year holidays, but there are still many points to be clarified to make travel between the different regions and on everything. the national territory.
In Spain vaccinations in January
January will be a great moment for Spain, with the Pedro Sánchez government announcing that mass vaccinations will begin in the first month of next year. The vaccine, the President of the Government has said, will be administered in 13 municipalities throughout Spain and “a large part of the population”, starting from “priority groups”, will be vaccinated in the first half of next year. “We have some difficult months ahead, but the roadmap is ready,” Sánchez said. The country has registered fewer than 400 cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, compared to almost 530 cases at the beginning of the month. A clear sign that the strategy of imposing the state of emergency, which has allowed regional governments to impose restrictions such as night curfews and restrictions on interregional travel, “is working,” the prime minister said. Meanwhile, the Catalonia region has eased some of the strict restrictions on bars, restaurants and cultural events that it introduced in mid-October. Although the curfew remains from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Catalan bars and restaurants can have customers up to 30% of their capacity within the enclosure and cultural spaces can operate at 50% of their capacity.
In Germany, the Landers decrease
And while Germany advances towards the end of the soft blockade organized as of last November 2 and that should end on the 30th of the month, the Land asks that it be extended until at least December 20. This is what the regional governors propose in a document that will be presented to the German Chancellor Angela Merkel November 25, with whom they will later have a virtual meeting. The Laenders propose that, until January 17, except for Christmas, private meetings be held with up to five people from two separate residential areas. In addition, voluntary quarantine is recommended “for several days, before and after the Christmas holidays.” Starting on December 20, the restrictive rules should be extended 14 days if Covid-19 infections do not fall below the critical threshold of 50 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last week. Where infections will be less than 35 per 100,000 inhabitants in the same period, restrictive measures could be relaxed.
