Tom.

As a non-dog-having outdoor exercise enthusiast, this absolutely infuriates me, but it is what it is. If they didn't allow this it would amount to animal abuse (and potentially a hygiene/health hazard as not all owners have private outdoor space). I guess by limiting it to dog owners only, and only in their local environment, they have clamped down on a lot of movement of people. 

You've seen the trouble they're having in the UK with people exercising in groups and in places they shouldn't, so I guess they wanted to avoid that completely and have succeeded. The streets are virtually abandoned, which they absolutely would not be if running and walking was allowed. I think they were trying to hammer the "stay home" message as strongly as humanly possible without total lockdown where the army deliver food to the door and you can't put a toe outside!

To be fair. They are employing the measures necessary to create social distancing & enforce where required. I wish they were doing the same a bit more robustly in the U.K. although things have improved we are still nowhere near the same level as everyone else seems to be. Time will tell what was the right course of action 🤔🤔

From El Pais, just now:


Spanish government tightens lockdown to include all non-essential workers:

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced on Saturday the total lockdown of all 47 million Spaniards apart from those who are working in essential sectors, in a bid to halt the spread of the Coronavirus and to reduce the congestion of the country’s intensive care units. At an extraordinary Cabinet meeting on Sunday, ministers will approve the confinement of non-essential workers to their homes for the next two weeks.
Today the Health Ministry announced that a total of 5,704 people had died so far in Spain as a result of the global pandemic, with 72,248 infections detected. More than 40,600 Coronavirus patients are currently hospitalized, while 12,285 have recovered from the COVID-19 disease and have been discharged from hospital. A total of 4,575 patients are currently in intensive care.
The Spanish Cabinet declared a state of alarm two weeks ago today, introducing measures that confined residents to their homes apart from certain conditions, such as leaving to purchase food or medication, or to go to their place of work.
These conditions will still stand, but will restrict the movement of residents in Spain apart from those who work in the sectors of foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, the health sector, veterinarians, opticians, hygiene products, the press, fuels for the automotive sector, tobacconists, IT and telecommunications vendors, pet food, internet vendors and dry cleaners.
Speaking on Saturday evening, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez insisted that during this period, workers “would continue to receive their salaries as usual.” After the health emergency has passed, workers will have to recuperate the hours that they have missed on a gradual basis, over time.

The Civil Guard has had to assist two crew members who are on a sailboat at anchor on the [b]island of Lobos (Las Palmas)[/b] .
According to the account of the [b]Civil Guard[/b] after ten days in this situation, the two young foreigners ran out of water and requested urgent help from the 062 of the Civil Guard.
The sailboat could not enter the [b]port of Corralejo[/b] as it needs prior authorization to do so, a process that the two aides did not know how to carry out. Given the urgency of the case, the [b]Maritime Service of the Civil Guard[/b] has attended to the two young people and made the purchase for them to take later to the boat.

From the N332 Trafico FaceBook page re the new lockdown conditions:

"Here is the list of ESSENTIAL SERVICES allowed to continue working from tomorrow. Services e.g. construction, building, some offices, and many others that were before allowed to work, now cannot. Once we know of any more restrictions or information we will post. We would like to remind you that we do not in any way decide these rules, we only translate directly from the government"

"Once a week" is great in theory, but if you don't have a car, you'll struggle to carry a week's necessities for two or more people at one time! Also, if you have food intolerances, allergies, or other food-related problems, you probably also have to visit multiple supermarkets to get everything you need. There's also a issue of dates/freshness— salads, for example. The ones I bought today expire on Friday, and those types of items really don't age well beyond their sell-by dates. (Some barely even last as long as they are supposed to!)

It's still absolutely crazy to me that Spain isn't giving the exercise allowance that all other countries are, but I suppose they had to come very heavy to get people to pay attention at all. Back home, people are flagrantly abusing the looser rules with delight, so I guess it makes sense to have a harsher law applied more loosely than a looser law applied more harshly.
