At the beginning I just want to say hello to everyone here as I am new here.
The reason I registered is that I am planning three weeks tour in
November this year and visit Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. While searching for information about
COVID situation in the Canarias i found the one about mandatory masks almost everywhere including outdoors.
I've seen Sam post and this exclusion:
"d) In spaces of nature or outdoors outside population centres, the obligation to wear a mask is excluded as long as the influx of people allows maintaining an interpersonal safety distance of at least 1.5 meters." so I think at the beach when there is noone around 2-3 meters, or hiking outside cities and towns it will be ok not to wear mask.
I understand that mask is mandatory in every closed space, market, shop, restaurant etc. and it.s ok for me.
However I was hoping You can do tell me if I really have to wear mask while walking around streets of cities and towns in the islands because my friend was in Tenerife at the end of
August and she told me that if there is no close gathering of people than masks are no mandatory and she was walking freely around Santa Cruz de Tenerife without mask and the only one case she was warned by trhe civil guard was when she wanted to smoke outside in public space while walking.
I know that situation till
November may change but I would really appreciate if You could tell me how this situation with masks lin the islands looks like in reality, because I would like to visit Canarias vaery much but vision of wearing mask outdoors is very discouraging.
