We have entered the ‘zero phase’ of the transition to the ‘new normal’

The Autonomous Community of Galicia, as well as the rest of the State (except the Balearic Islands and some Canary Islands), will enter phase 0 of the deconfinement plan published by the central government last week as of this Monday.

In addition to the current social distancing measures against COVID-19, this phase zero implies some changes in our daily lives that will remain in force until entering phase 1 (which will possibly happen from May 10). 

The main changes affect the use of masks and the opening of some businesses. 

The use of masks in public transport

The use of masks that cover the nose and mouth goes from being recommended to being mandatory on public transport. We remind you that from the City Council We have masks for people who need them.. Consult the order published on Sunday 3 in the BOE.

In other activities outside the home, the use of masks among the general population is highly recommended when the interpersonal distance of two meters cannot be guaranteed. 

Small shops by appointment

Starting today, commercial establishments with less than 400 square meters will be able to open, except for shopping centers and parks. This includes barbershops and hair salons, hardware stores, bookstores, workshops, etc. 

Establishments that can open must do so in compliance with a series of rules, such as establishing prior appointments to guarantee a maximum of one customer per worker, and setting preferential hours for customers over 65 years of age. 

In addition, establishments must disinfect the premises at least twice a day, once at the end of the day, in addition to other hygiene measures, which can be consulted in detail. in the order published on May 3 in the BOE.
