The Generalitat Valenciana has announced further measures to combat the increase of COVID-19 infections in the region which has threatened to spread out of control and overwhelm the health system. The new measures will come into force at 00:00hrs on Thursday 7th January and remain in place until Sunday 31st January at the earliest.
President Ximo Puig explained that the new measures are being brought in to "protect the population and preserve essential health services," adding that the region is currently experiencing a "serious situation" as the virus spreads almost unabated. He confirmed, however, that schools will re-open on Thursday 7th January as normal.
Curfew and Early Closing

The hospitality sector – bars and restaurants – will be required to close their doors at 5.00pm and restrict customers to four people on a table. Smoking is completely banned on terraces, regardless of distance.
The maximum number of people who can attend social and family gatherings in public or private spaces remains at six.
Businesses will have to reduce their capacities to 30% of licensed capacity, including car-parks, whilst essential businesses (supermarkets, chemists, orthopedics, opticians, hairdressers and vets) will remain at 50%.
The perimeter lockdown of the Comunidad Valenciana has been extended to January 31st, meaning that no-one can enter or exit the region without a justified reason.

Valencia tightens Christmas restrictions
CHANGES have been made to the Christmas restrictions in the Valencia Region.
The President of the Consell, Ximo Puig, has confirmed that Valencia will be one of the regions to tighten measures, after the Ministry of Health left such decisions in the hands of the regional governments.
Curfew remains in place at 11pm, except on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve when it will be at midnight.
Travelling within the Comunitat Valenciana is allowed. No-one living outside the region is allowed to enter. This measure remains in place until January 15.
Social gatherings are limited to six people; with members of no more than two cohabiting groups getting together.
Close friends will not be allowed at Christmas gatherings, only relatives.
These measures mean that possibility of Christmas dinners with anyone other people already cohabiting is very limited.
They have been put in place after figures in the Comunitat Valenciana worsened following the long weekend holiday at the beginning of December.

Spanish government asks citizens to stay home for Christmas
New plan allows inter-regional travel between December 23 and January 6 only to see family and close friends, but rules will be hard to enforce and some regions do not feel bound by them
"We need to stay home for Christmas." This is the Spanish government's main message to citizens, as expressed on Wednesday by Health Ministery Salvador Illa after a meeting of central and regional officials that produced a plan for safely celebrating this holiday season.
Despite the appeal to avoid travel, the plan will allow movement across regional lines between December 23 and January 6, as long as these trips are made to visit relatives or close friends. Illa said that this definition includes not only direct family members but also people with whom "strong bonds of affection" exist. Outside of these exceptions, borders are to remain sealed according to the plan.
To prevent the spread of the virus, the best thing to do would be to eliminate gatherings altogether
Epidemiologist Javier del Águila
Social gatherings are capped at 10 people on key days (December 24, 25, and 31 and January 1) up from the regular limit of six. Additionally, a 1.30am curfew is set for the nights of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, rather than the earlier times currently in place and which vary across the regions.
But it remains unclear how compliance with these rules will be enforced. On Wednesday, the minister called on citizens' sense of responsibility to make sure that the guidelines are adhered to. But ultimately it will be up to each individual to determine which visits are justified. Similarly, the 10-person limit on social gatherings will be impossible to enforce.
The government has also failed to secure unanimous support for the plan. Although most regional representatives backed it, Madrid officials on Wednesday voted against it, saying through a spokesperson that they "do not feel bound by it."
Catalonia also said that it does not feel bound by the agreement, although its own plan contains many similar measures. According to sources present at the talks, some other regional officials said they would go even further in their restrictions.
A state of alarm is currently in force in Spain, which according to the health minister means that the agreement that came out of the meeting of the Inter-Territorial Council of the National Health System on Wednesday is binding.
Sources who were present at the meeting reported Madrid officials as saying that unless the plan is published in the State Official Gazette (BOE), they will not follow it. Illa replied that such a step is not necessary and will not be taken.
The ministry had been hoping to secure unanimous support for the plan by incorporating some regional demands, such as raising the cap on social gatherings from six to 10 on key days (December 24, 25, and 31 and January 1), and pushing the curfew from 1am to 1.30am on the nights of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Risk of coronavirus outbreaks
Several epidemiologists consulted by this newspaper said that increased social contact during Christmas will likely lead to new outbreaks in January. Spain, which entered a second coronavirus wave after summer, has been flattening the infection curve following a series of restrictions on mobility that include sealed perimeters at the local, provincial and regional level in many parts of the country.
Experts say that the only way to prevent a new surge is to entirely avoid gatherings of people from different households. But they admit that it is not an easy thing to impose on a weary society that already experienced one of the world's strictest coronavirus lockdowns between March and June.
"I am very glad that I don't have to make that kind of decision," said the epidemiologist Javier del Águila. "To prevent the spread of the virus, the best thing to do would be to eliminate gatherings altogether. It would mean following a tough line that we have not followed to date, but which Italy has done: canceling Christmas."
Other experts criticize what they see as shortcomings in leadership and strategy. "I think it is necessary to be more explicit about the general goals that these measures seek to achieve," said Ildefonso Hernández, spokesperson for the Spanish Society of Public Health. "For instance, what kind of risks are we trying to avoid with each measure, so that people will understand the point of restricting movement between the regions but not within one's own region; or why there is a limit on household gatherings."

‼ ️‼ ️ The Council of Ministers has decreed the state of alarm to face the Covid-19 pandemic.
🔸This week he will ask Congress for its extension for a period of 6 months.
🔸If the epidemiological situation improves, it could get up earlier.
These are the main measures⤵️
➡️ The delegated authorities will be the presidents and presidents of the autonomous governments.
The body for cooperation and co-governance will be the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System where the Ministry of Health and the Autonomous Communities are represented.
➡️ The freedom of movement of people is limited from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. It can only be circulated for the justified reasons established in the regulation. The measure is applicable to all of Spain, except the Canary Islands.
The Autonomous Communities may modulate the start and end time of this limitation, between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. and between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.
➡️ The autonomies may also limit the entry and exit of their territories, in whole or in part. That is, they may confine the entire territory of their community or decide to confine a lower territorial area.
This restriction of entry and exit of people will have exceptions such as attendance at health centers, educational centers, compliance with professional or work obligations, etc.
➡️In the same way, the autonomous communities will decide to limit the permanence of people in public or private spaces to a maximum number of 6⃣ people, except in the case of cohabitants.
‼ ️ The measures adopted will depend on the situation of each territory.
❗DOUBTS ABOUT THE ALARM STATUS❗
➡️Is it a state of alarm like the previous one?
➡️ How is it different?
Mainly in that there will be no home confinement of the population.
➡️ When does it come into effect?
This afternoon.
➡️How long will this state of alarm last?
Surely until Monday, November 9, but the initial idea of ​​the government is that the state of alarm lasts for six months, until May 9. It has to be approved in the Congress of Deputies this week.
➡️Could it end before May 9?
Yes, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. The six months set by the Government obey scientific and technical criteria. According to experts, this is the time necessary to bend the curve and slow the advance of the pandemic.
➡️Is there going to be general confinement of the population?
Initially no, but the powers are held by the presidents of each autonomous community. So if the data worsens in a community, they could end up decreeing home confinement.
In any case, the government's request is that the population stay home as much as possible. Less mobility, fewer contacts and less contagion possibilities.
➡️ Are we going to be able to leave the house freely?
No. During the day you can go out for any purpose, but at night movements are limited.
➡️ What time is the curfew?
Throughout the national territory, the curfew goes from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
➡️ Do all the autonomous communities have the same hours?
No. Each autonomous community can advance or delay the start time of the curfew. So it could start between 10:00 p.m. and 00:00 a.m., and end between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
➡️Are there exceptions to curfew?
Yes. During the curfew you can be on the street for the following justified reasons. These would be some:
📌Acquire medicines.
📌Return from work.
📌Return home.
📌Care for older people.
➡️Can I take the dog out after 23:00 or go for a run?
In principle no, unless in your specific autonomous community the starting time of the curfew is set at 00:00.
➡️ What's going to happen this Christmas?
It is not known, but it is most certain that the Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve parties will have to be celebrated with the cohabitants. The government intends to approve the state of alarm until May 9. The curfew would be extended until that date, so that after 23:00 hours one could not be on the street.
➡️ Is there an autonomous community that will not have a curfew?
Yes, the Canary Islands.
➡️ Can we move within the autonomous community?
It depends. Each community will decide if there is free movement in its territory or if there will be perimeter confinements – neighborhood, city, district, province … – within the community itself.
➡️Will there be movement between communities?
It also depends. Each community decides whether to close its territory to other autonomies. In the event that a community closes its borders, there may be displacement for work, educational or medical reasons.
➡️ How many people can meet?
Communities may also limit social gatherings, but with a maximum limit of six people, unless they are cohabiting.
