ARCHIVED - Maximum of 2 people permitted to gather anywhere in Murcia region
The regional health service insists on limiting the amount of contact between individuals
The principal measure announced by the regional Covid monitoring committee on Monday closed non-essential shops at 6pm and weekends in the 8 worst-affected municipalities of the region: Yecla, Moratalla, Albudeite, Mula, Fortuna, Caravaca, Ricote and Jumilla which all have AI rates consistently in excess of 2,000 cases per 100,000 of population during the last two weeks.
For the rest of us, the principal change is that the number of people permitted to gather anywhere is now limited to 2 people from different households. The only exclusion is in instances where a family unit exceeds 2 people, so parents and their children, for example, are allowed to go out together, but are not allowed to meet with another family member from a different household. So, a son can go and meet his mother in a public space, but is not permitted to go and meet the family of his sister, for example, if this makes the group meeting larger than 2 people.
This is applicable right across the region.
The spokesman for the committee explains that this is principally because it is known that 40% of all covid cases are asymptomatic, for which reason it is impossible to see whether another person is covid positive, but as we know all too well by now, being asymptomatic doesn´t prevent that individual transmitting the virus to somebody else, who may in turn, suffer from the more severe symptoms which have killed over 2 million people worldwide to date.
It was already prohibited to meet socially either inside or outside of the domestic environment, but this latest announcement has now clarified beyond any doubt the size of a group permitted to gather, which is now just 2 people. This should now put an end totally to groups gathering anywhere.There is a great deal of confusion over his words as these seem to indicate it is OK for 2 people to meet socially, which we were told last week is not permitted. There has been criticism that the restriction on meeting socially was amended to permit those practicing sport to do so providing masks were worn and this has certainly been abused as has been witnessed by the Ed. personally, with groups of walkers passing en-masse outside the house and seeing groups of cyclists and motorcyclists out for a ride at the weekend, so the definition of the maximum number allowed to gather being 2 probably relates to this and does NOT mean it is now OK for 2 friends to meet up for a chat. It does mean that groups of cyclists or walkers are NOT allowed to gather, so only 2 people can undertake a sporting activity together.
The only instance in which a group of more than 2 people should gather is if they are a family living together, and they are permitted to go out together.
A similar measure was announced on Sunday for the Valencia Region (which includes Alicante province).
If there are any other exceptions, these will be detailed when the new restriction is published in the BORM.
Other rules which remain in place:
No movement is permitted between municipalities other than for essential reasons.
The external perimeter boundary of the region is closed other for essential travel.
All bars and restaurants must remain closed other than those offering take-aways (the only exceptions being Aledo and Librilla which may open external terraces only). Premises offering take-aways are not allowed to serve any food or drink for consumption inside their premises or on their terraces; food must be consumed well away from the premises.
Masks must be worn outside of the home environment at all times.
The curfew begins at 22:00 and all residents must be inside their homes from this time onwards other than for justifiable reasons such as work, caring for a dependent, urgent trip to the pharmacy etc.
Other rules such as limited capacity in shops, shopping centres, places of worship, etc also apply, although businesses are permitted to continue offering their services as normal and there is no home confinement.
Remember, that visiting is now banned in hospitals and it is important to check with the hospital if you have an appointment or consultation as a restructuring exercise at the weekend has resulted in the cancellation of all non-essential actions within the hospital service.
The regional government has emphasised the importance of respecting these measures due to the critical situation facing the health service and of limiting contact with other people. Although the number of new cases reported is starting to decrease, the health service is in a very fragile condition and will be unable to adequately cope should the numbers of hospitalisations continue to rise.
