TEXT

Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 74-A/2021

Summary: Changes the measures applicable in a disaster situation, in the context of the COVID-19 disease pandemic.

Through the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 70-B/2021 , of June 4, in its current wording, the Government established the criteria with a view to continuing the strategy of lifting containment measures in the context of combating the pandemic of COVID-19 disease. Under the terms of the aforementioned Resolution, two new phases of de-confinement were defined, phases 1 and 2.

At the same time, the general outlines of the health measures that would be applied to municipalities considered to be at high risk and very high risk according to the epidemiological situation were established, which would be assessed mainly based on the criterion of cumulative incidence at 14 days.

In view of the above, in accordance with the general panorama defined by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 70-B/2021 , of June 4, the Government hereby determines which rules to apply until June 28, 2021, without prejudice to the weekly review with regard to the territorial scope of these measures. Thus, general rules are defined, applicable to the entire continental national territory, and subsequently established measures especially applicable to municipalities in the continental national territory as they fall into: i) phase 1 and ii) the situation of “high risk municipality” .

First, in terms of teleworking and time lag, it is defined that, for the purposes of Decree-Law no . teleworking in specific situations (namely workers who are covered by the exceptional regime for the protection of immunocompromised and chronically ill) applies to the entire continental national territory. With regard to the general matter of telework (ie outside telework situations in specific situations) provided for in that decree-law, it is only applicable to high-risk municipalities.

Also in terms of general measures to be applied to the entire continental national territory, it is worth highlighting the alteration of the norms relating to the carrying out of diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 in order to establish a broader testing strategy. It is now foreseen, by determination of the health authority, the possibility of carrying out tests to workers who, regardless of employment relationship, type or nature of the legal relationship, work in workplaces with 150 or more workers. It is also subject to testing, in accordance with the rules and guidelines of the General Directorate of Health (DGS), whoever intends to attend or participate in cultural, sporting, corporate or family events, including weddings and baptisms,

Additionally, it is worth highlighting the changes made in terms of air traffic, airports and land, sea and river borders. The type of tests accepted for the purposes of the possibility of making trips was changed, namely the provision for the presentation of the rapid antigen test (TRAg) and, also, the possibility of adapting those rules, namely with regard to the permission of non-essential trips and the presentation of tests, in view of the implementation of vaccination, testing and recovery certificates or other proof.

As for the municipalities that fall into phase 1, the applicable measures are, in essence, those resulting from the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 70-B/2021 , of 4 June. Of these measures, the ones mentioned below stand out, by way of example.

The food and non-food retail trade activities operate according to the respective licensing schedule. Regarding the restaurant’s opening hours, the admission rule is now foreseen until 00:00 and closing until 01:00. There is a limit of six people inside and 10 people in the spaces or services of open terraces.

The cultural facilities will close at 01:00 h, and access is excluded for entry purposes from 00:00 h. The other establishments and equipment, providing services, open to the public, will close at 01:00 h.

Deconcentrated public services now provide face-to-face service without the need to make prior appointments, while citizen shops maintain face-to-face service by appointment, without prejudice to the provision of these services through digital means and contact centres with citizens and businesses.

As for family events, including weddings and baptisms, the capacity is limited to 50% of the space in which they are held. As for the practice of all amateur training and competitive activities, including training levels, the presence of the public is allowed provided that with marked places, distance, access rules and with a capacity limit corresponding to 33% of the total capacity of the venue sport. In the case of the practice of all amateur training and competitive activities, including training levels, outside sports venues, the presence of a public with capacity limits and rules to be defined by the DGS is admitted.

As for the measures applicable to high-risk municipalities, they are, in essence, those that were previously applicable to level 1, corresponding to May 1, under the terms of Council of Ministers Resolution No. 19/2021 , of March 13 , although with the adaptations foreseen in the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 70-B/2021 , of June 4th, namely in matters of closing times.
