Status – Has any special status been introduced?
The state of emergency has been extended until June 30th, 2021. Furthermore, a curfew has been implemented from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. throughout the country.
The government has issued a progressive deconfinement plan for each national district, which implementation depends on the COVID-19 positive case indicators, so it is analyzed on a week-by-week basis: Phase 1 means total lockdown; Phase 2 implies freedom of movement from Monday to Friday, and isolation on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; Phase 3 means that the quarantine is lifted and Phase 4 allows for more personal freedom. Each Phase has its own rules and prohibitions, e.g. capacity limitation in enclosed spaces, which includes shopping malls.
