Increase restrictions on this Covid-19 crisis in A Coruña and its closest area of influence. The president of the Xunta, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has communicated a series of measures that will begin to be applied from Friday at three in the afternoon and will have an initial duration of one month. The perimeter closure of A Coruña and Arteixo is maintained and it is extended to Oleiros, Culleredo and Cambre. In these municipalities, the hotel industry will be closed and commerce will continue. The exits and entrances of these councils must be justified.
In the cinemas the capacity is restricted to half and in theaters and auditoriums to 30 people indoors and 75 outdoors.
The tpublic transport, with the exception of the school, must circulate at fifty percent seat occupancy and 25 percent for passengers traveling standing.
President Feijóo points out that in the last fifteen days there has been a rebound in dangerous cases that must be tackled. Galicia, he says, is in a better situation than most communities, but it is necessary to adopt forceful measures that allow, in addition, to save the Christmas campaign.
“We intend to reduce the pressure in hospitals, health and in residences for the elderly and disability centers; avoid confinement and a much more difficult goal to achieve, such as trying to save the Christmas campaign,” said the Galician president.
Avoid confinement at home
Feijóo has defended that, although no measure can be discarded, the new restrictions that are applied in Galicia are adopted, among other issues, to “try to avoid” the home confinement.
Starting next week, when the communities can decide on this matter, the curfew will be maintained from eleven at night to six in the morning.
In his speech, the president has claimed that with the new measures Galicia is once again an “outpost” among the communities and has guaranteed that it will continue with its “institutional loyalty” with the Government of Spain.
In any case, he has opposed that this “institutional loyalty” is “compatible” with “constructive criticism” and has suggested that, unlike the state Executive, with measures such as this Wednesday, the Xunta “does not avoid responsibilities.”
