– The fines for establishments that do not comply with the regulations will be increased up to a maximum limit of ten thousand euros;
– Inspection of both establishments and individuals will be reinforced;
– The use of masks in the street will be “strongly recommended” when justified, as well as the installation of the Stayaway Covid application;
– This Wednesday an “urgent” proposal will be presented to Parliament to make the use of a mask mandatory in the street, as well as the installation of the application “in work, school and academic contexts, in the armed forces and security and public administration” .
