The mayor of Oleiros, Ángel García Seoane, the only one in the A Coruña area that will enter a high level of restrictions due to the incidence of Covid 19, questions the legality of the Xunta’s measures and the double yardstick between nearby councils. The new level includes the obligation to present a vaccination certificate, a negative covid19 test (PCR or antigens) or demonstrate that the disease has been passed, to access the interior of the hospitality industry. For García Seoane these measures are alarming and incoherent. He does not understand that a hotelier has to control access to his premises by asking for a vaccination certificate and doubts its constitutionality.
It also points out that if a citizen, perhaps infected, wants to enter a restaurant in Oleiros, he will not be able to, but he will be able to do so at the City Hall next door.
He denounces that the information provided by the Xunta, with measures that will affect sectors as important to the economy of his municipality as the hospitality industry, is being null.
The hospitality industry in Oleiros, desperate
“They have made us act as policemen,” says the owner of El Preludio, a well-known restaurant on the Santa Cruz promenade. Remember that the hospitality industry has strictly complied with all the measures and is not the sector to blame for the outbreaks. He does not understand how a hotelier can force a citizen to present him private documentation.
A Coruña, Culleredo, Cambre and Sada will enter the intermediate level. In these municipalities, the hotel industry also reduces capacity to 50% indoors and on terraces, and no documentation will be required to access the interior of the premises.
The nightlife will remain open in the municipalities at medium or medium-low level in the same conditions in which it was already allowed to open. Since yesterday with the obligation to present negative covid19 proof or vaccination certificate.
The Superior Court of Xustiza de Galicia must decide whether to support the limitations of rights agreed by the Galician Government. The intention of the Xunta is to also prohibit meetings of more than 6 non-cohabitants indoors and of more than 10 outdoors. Feijoo has also explained that meetings of more than two different family units will not be allowed.
In addition, meetings of non-cohabitants are prohibited from 1 to 6 in the morning in the case of municipalities that become at a high level; from 3 to 6 in the morning in the rest.
