MAY 18: The wearing of face masks to become mandatory in public spaces

On Sunday May 17, Health Minister, Salvador Illa announced that the Ministry of Health will shortly make the wearing of face masks compulsory in public spaces. Until now, it has only been required to wear masks on public transport. Work is currently under way to draft a ministerial order, which will be published “in the coming days”.

It is likely that the wearing of masks will become obligatory in businesses and closed public spaces, but it is unclear as to whether they will be required on the street.

MAY 18: Relaxation of exercise restrictions in some areas

The current measures allocating exercise timetables to specific groups of people are likely to be relaxed in some areas. At present, municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants are exempt from these restrictions, and all residents are free to exercise at any time of day. They must, however, abide by other regulations, i.e. once a day only, maximum of 1 hour, within 1 km radius of their residence and with only one other family member.

These timetable restrictions will soon also be removed for municipalities with up to 10,000 inhabitants.

He warned that a further extension of ‘several more weeks’ would be needed to see Spain through the four-stage de-escalation process.
