The President of Andalusia Juanma Moreno has announced this afternoon in a press conference that after a meeting of the health experts that mobility between Provinces will be restored.

The fourth wave of Covid -19 has been substantially lower than previous waves. Andalusia has the highest population of all the autonomous states in Spain with a population of 8,478,084. Andalusia leads the way in vaccinations and over 7 million people need to be vaccinated (target population) as there is currently no approved vaccine for under 16 year olds.

President Moreno said that one in every four (26.7%) of the target population in Andalusia has had at least one vaccine jab and completely vaccinated over 10%.

Here are the new rules which will come into law as of Thursday 29th of April and will be inplace until the National State of emergency ends on May 9th.

• Free movement between all of the eight provinces, however movement in and out of Andalusia will remain restricted.
• Curfew remains between 23.00 and 06.00 Bars and restaurants will be allowed to stay open until 23.00 as long as clients are home by 23.00 so as not to break curfew.
• Maximum of 6 people meeting up outside.
• Maximum of 4 people meeting up inside.
• In towns or cities where the incidence levels are over 500 they will be locked down but the commercial business hours will remain the same.
• In towns or cities where the incidence levels are over 1,000 they will be locked down and only essential businesses will remain open.

 

Andalusian provinces have had interprovincial travel restricted since before Christmas and President Moreno said although restrictions will ease from this Thursday that we still need to be cautious and follow the health measures we all know. What we will do now will decide what kind of a summer we will have, there are a lot of life’s and jobs at risk, the virus is still out there so we need to keep calm and begin to enjoy our freedom.
