She said the government was already working on the next phase of the State of Emergency, which runs until at least April 26 and is likely to run until May 10.
Although a date has not been set for a partial lifting of the restrictions, Yolanda Díaz said: “We are working in two phases to reduce the scale, one for the summer and another for the end of the year.”
The minister confirmed that the process of reincorporation to the work of the different sectors will be “gradual” and that her department foresees two temporary scales.
The first will be in June and will cover the productive sectors. Large companies and banks have already confirmed that the return to work will be “gradual”.
The second will last until the end of the year and will affect, above all, tourism, culture and leisure, as well as air and sea navigation, currently severely restricted or even paralyzed in many cases.
Yolanda Díaz acknowledged that these sectors will have “enormous difficulties” to resume their activity, for which reason various measures are already being studied.
