Valencia
On Sunday, Valencian authorities announced new measures to restrict social contacts in a region with the countryâs third-highest coronavirus incidence rate â 1,245 cases per 100,000 people in the last 14 days â and where 59% of intensive care beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients.
Starting on Monday, there is a two-person limit on public gatherings of members of different households. Larger meetings in public spaces are only allowed if everyone is part of the same living unit.
In the private sphere, members of different households may no longer meet inside homes. This means that no social visits of any kind are allowed. Exceptions will be made in both public and private settings for work meetings, educational activities and caregiving for vulnerable people such as children, seniors or adults with need for daily assistance.
