New restrictions and curfew in Valencia, Galicia, Asturias, Cataluña and Navarra

Navarra has decreed the closure of the interior of the hospitality sector as a measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus. This has happened a few hours after Valencia decreed the total closure of the hospitality sector. Here you can see the new restrictions and measures in all the autonomous communities.

Some autonomous communities have begun to take drastic measures and new restrictions to curb the advance of coronavirus, whose data are already truly alarming throughout Spain.

In addition, several autonomous communities are pressuring the central government to modify the decree of the state of alarm and to bring forward the curfew. The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, said that this issue will be discussed today, Wednesday, in the Inter-territorial Health Council.

The last community to take measures has been Valencia, which has decreed the total closure of the hospitality sector. Castilla y León, for its part, has been the first to apply the advance of the curfew to 20:00 h, even without being allowed in the current state of alarm and supported by the Canary Islands, Murcia, Cantabria, Andalusia and Madrid.

The Basque Country proposes a curfew at 21:00 h and even the president of Castilla-La Mancha, the socialist Emiliano García-Page has been critical of the government’s management. For its part, Cataluña has asked for more resources to “be able to make decisions”.

These are all the measures and restrictions in the autonomous communities:

Comunidad Valenciana

The Generalitat has decreed the total closure of the hospitality industry in view of the worrying increase in the contagion of coronavirus in the Valencian Community. It has also fixed the closing of shops at 18:00 h, except in the case of food stores, pharmacies and other essential businesses. These restrictions will enter into force on Thursday, January 21, at 00:00 h and will remain in force for 14 days.
