Shops & supermarkets under lockdown!

Just been to Lidl & Mercadona, processes much as described.  Drive includes 5 roundabouts there and 5 back and not a Police or garda civil car to be seen.

 The only one I saw on Monday was at the end of my road

Received a phone call yesterday from the Health Centre changing my Monday appointment to today, no issues with that so I went and did the weekly shop while I was out, Lidl,s  car park had 3 Guardia and 4 soldiers stood around, While Mercadonna,s car park had 6 soldiers, none of them were interacting with anyone, but still a tad unnerving.
Incidentally, while I was at the Health  Centre, they were using large quantities of what smelled like diluted disinfectant, all over the road, pavements, and walkway up to the medical centre. {The cleaning lady in the health Centre was not at all amused }

They've been spraying our village centre with that every other day, pavement outside shop and bar (even though closed!), the general bins and the recycling containers, the bus stops and the post box!

Not sure about other markets but the one in Gran Tarajal is apparently taking place every Tuesday and Friday morning.

Are you sure Sam? Have you been there?

Am I asking too much, or have all the shops been shut down?

I thought I might start a few diy projects. But I need some materials. Obviously they are not considered 'esential' items, so I cannot justify going out to buy paint etc, but has any enterprising company thought of taking telephone/online orders and delivering? Like Monto or Ideal?

Or is it against the rules? 

Maybe after Friday when the business restrictions are relaxed? Any ideas?

I'm not aware of business restrictions being relaxed this weekend, where have you heard that?
A number of ferreterias are open, likely with reduced hours, Marcial for instance in Corralejo. I would imagine that there would be ferreterias open in most locations.

[Archer]

Thanks. Marcial is too far away. Cannot justify travelling that far. Haven't seen any local to me. I'll look tomorrow whilst going to the supermarket.

El Pais said "The proposed extension of the state of alarm does not apply to the emergency decree announced by Sánchez last Saturday that suspended all non-essential activity until Thursday April 9. That means that these sectors should be able to resume activity after Easter."


Anyone else know anyone delivering??

[Johnrgby]

There was an Electron van delivering in our street yesterday, what they were delivering I have no idea, but that would suggest that Ideal can as well.
