State of emergency - Limited freedom of movement

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

I look at the infection stats announcement on Radio Sintonia each day and each day they also include a summary of the current regs. No change showing on there!

[Emmi Smith]

From what I understand if at Level 1 - then 6 people, if Level 2 then 4 people and Fuerteventura is  at Level 2 right now?

[Captain Sensible]

These are the Level 2 rules that came in last week - https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/off...0table#ath

Thanks Captain. It's no wonder there is confusion when 2 local media outlets are quoting different info!

On January 23 and 24, the Civil Guard of the Corralejo Main Post and the Rapid Intervention Group (GIR) of the Puerto del Rosario Company have made ten administrative complaints to the health regulations by intensifying the supervision of passenger maritime traffic between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
In another action, the agents of the Corralejo Post proceeded on January 25 to arrest a person for an alleged crime of disobedience, repeatedly lacking a mandatory mask, allegedly stating six administrative complaints for not wearing the mask and six other complaints. administrative charges for slight disobedience, given the refusal to put on that element of protection.
Surveillance in the transit shipping companies Fuerteventura - Lanzarote  
The Civil Guard has intensified surveillance in shipping companies before the level 4 health alert of the island of Lanzarote and the connections made by sea to the Corralejo dock in order to verify and verify the transit of people and compliance with the health regulations due this displacement must be documented in accordance with the regulations.
Specifically, on the 23rd and 24th, the Civil Guard of Corralejo and the GIR of Puerto del Rosario made a dozen complaints in the various random controls carried out at the dock, as the accused allegedly did not properly accredit the maritime transfer, most of them from Playa Blanca (Lanzarote), to its final destination at the Corralejo pier (Fuerteventura).
It should be noted that these controls of maritime passenger traffic will be maintained between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, until the epidemiological conditions of Covid19 and at its different levels, allow the full circulation of passengers between islands.
Detention for repeated behavior of disobedience in complying with sanitary regulations. 
In another action on January 25, the Corralejo Civil Guard detained a 38-year-old person for an alleged repetition of infractions by recording 12 administrative complaints for not wearing or not wearing the mandatory mask on public roads, being constitutive from non-compliance with the prevention and containment measures of COVID-19 to
offer repeated behavior of disobedience to law enforcement officials when prompted to wear a mask
The Events took place around 0635 hours of that day when the Civil Guard allegedly observed the detainee accessing a public premises located on Juan Carlos Primero avenue without wearing the corresponding protective mask. For this reason, the agents ordered him, as on previous occasions, that he had to comply with the sanitary norm, offering the agents this element of protection, openly and explicitly refusing to put on the mask, giving as justification a personal denialist conviction outside of any norm legal and health.
It so happens that this person, from November of last year to the present date, allegedly has twelve administrative offenses, of which six of them are related to not wearing the mask on public roads, and the others six for slight disobedience given his refusal to put on the mask on public roads at the explicit request of the authorities, who even offered and gave him a mask at that time, allegedly openly refusing to use it.
Therefore, given the conduct in previous Events consolidated in a multitude of administrative offenses, precisely because he did not wear the mask and the fact of his allegedly repeated refusal to put it on, ignoring the indications provided by the authorities, proceeded to his arrest for a crime of disobedience to the agents of the authority, being at the judicial disposition of the Court acting as Guard of Puerto del Rosario.

Great news about the change here and GC. Does anyone know of a link I can follow regarding inter-island travel in reference to varying levels?
Also are levels altered every week or two weeks?

[Captain Sensible]

The data for Fuerteventura has continued to be negative since the announcement a week ago that the island was moving down to Level 1. New cases are up, and all incidence rates are up, and it continues to have the highest IA7 of 92.40 and an IA14 of 141.16 per 100,000 inhabitants of all the islands.

The indicators observed by the Ministry of Health, who meet tomorrow, show that Fuerteventura will, more than likely, move back to Level 2 and have curfew reinstated to 11pm.
