The order regulating the movement of children was published in the BOE today. Starting tomorrow, Sunday 26, children under 14 will be able to go out for walks, accompanied by an adult, for one hour a day (between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm).
The text of the BOE also includes the extension of the state of alarm until 00:00 on Sunday, May 10. The state of alarm implies that the current social distancing measures and travel limitations continue, with the exception of children's travel (with the conditions detailed below).
This decision was made due to the associated benefits for health and social and family well-being, following the recommendations of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.
We detail here the conditions of these supervised walks for minors:
- The exits can be within a kilometer of your home.
- Recreational spaces or sports facilities (for example, playgrounds or the Sanugueiros recreational area) cannot be used.
- The walk must be taken with one adult and a maximum of three children.
- An interpersonal distance of at least 2 meters must be maintained with third parties.
- The recommended prevention and hygiene measures must be complied with.
- The accompanying adult must be of legal age, live at home with the child or be a household employee in charge of the minor. If the adult is not a parent or legal guardian, they must have prior authorization from them.
- Minors who present symptoms, are infected or have been in contact with a person with symptoms or who are infected will not be able to leave.
