The De-escalation Plan in Spain

[Captain Sensible]

Approval has just been given for the whole of the Canary Islands to move into Phase 1 of the de-escalation plan.  I presume that actual details will be released over the weekend.

A translation:
Minister Illa finally gave the islands the go-ahead to move to Phase 1 next Monday. Canary Islands health, and especially the situation of the archipelago in relation to COVID 19, leads to the next phase of de-escalation.
From Monday we can go back to spend time with friends and family, as many businesses in Fuerteventura can resume their activity.
Starting Monday, the Majoreros will move on to a new reality that we abandoned some time ago due to the Coronavirus Sanitary Crisis.
After 58 days of confinement on Monday we will have some new social situations that we had banned.
We will be able to see our elders, as long as they are not vulnerable or with previous pathologies, we will have fewer restrictions when it comes to taking walks, and we will once again enjoy terraces and some restaurants.
In the case of restaurants, the possibility of using 50% of the capacity on the terraces and with some conditioning factors in the treatment of customers is considered.

This is what I saw yesterday as being allowed in Phase 1

Small businesses can serve customers with safety measures in place

Sidewalk cafés and restaurant terraces can open at 50% capacity

Hotels and tourist accommodation can open as long as they keep common areas such as buffet rooms closed

Places of worship may open at 30% capacity

Non-professional sports are allowed for activities that do not involve physical contact or the use of locker rooms

Outdoor markets may operate but stands must be spaced apart

Cultural Events involving under 30 people can be held indoors at a third of capacity

Cultural Events involving fewer than 200 people can be held outdoors

Museums may open at a third of capacity

Funeral services may be held with “a limited amount” of mourners

Great News re moving to Phase 1, I am however surprised that all the Canaries are based on the figures Sam posted in the Open Data thread -

Incredibly brief overview as it stands:

Tenerife: 571 of 1426 total cases remain active, 102 dead 
Gran Canaria: 136/550 active, 35 dead
La Palma: 44/93 active, 6 dead
Lanzarote: 21/81 active, 5 dead
Fuerteventura: 5/45 active, 0 dead
La Gomera: 0/8 active, 0 dead
El Hierro: 1/2 active, 0 dead

We have been nothing short of insanely fortunate on this island.

Yep. Just compare the numbers of Fuerteventura (116k population) and La Palma (85k population):

La Palma 93 cases, 6 dead vs Fuerteventura 44 cases, none dead.

The detailed BOE has been published in Spanish

BOE May 9th 2020

Attached a Google translation I have managed to make -

So as far as I have understood... We no longer have the Distance & time-slot based system for exercise, and we can now do other activities (i.e. snorkeling, swimming, walking in the dunes)?

Where did you get that from Mcadam? I've just skimmed through the whole BOE and all I can see is that autonomous communities, ie The Canaries, can choose to vary the start and finish of time slots by up to 2 hours, but not extend the permitted time out. Guess we'll have to wait for a Canaries detailed announcement.

Sorry, I should have clarified a bit more - it was a question.

I skimmed through the BOE and didn't see any reference to the change in time, or time slots for any of the opening businesses.
Since we will be allowed to go out with a purpose other than shopping/exercise at seemingly unrestricted times... I came to the conclusion that it would also filter through to the exercise stuffs.

Even Mercadona in Corralejo will be open later (starting Monday I think... There was an announcement when there last time).

Good clear article on radiosintonia.com re changes and what can happen in phase 1 if someone can post the translation please, my phone refuses to cooperate!

The Official State Gazette (BOE) publishes the order that includes the measures related to the application of phase 1 of the Plan for the transition to a new normality , as well as the territories in which they will be applied.
The text relaxes the social measures for the containment of the disease in the territorial units that the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced yesterday, after analyzing the proposals of the autonomous communities and autonomous cities, and meeting bilaterally with each one of the Health advisers.
In these areas, it will be possible to move around the province, island or territorial unit of reference, always respecting the safety and hygiene measures, as well as maintaining the minimum safety distance of at least two meters, in groups of a maximum of ten people, although this limit will not apply between cohabitants.

In the wake, a maximum of 15 people may be in the open air or 10 in closed spaces, whether or not they live together at the same address. Burials may be attended by a maximum of 15 people. Safety and hygiene measures must always be respected.

Attendance at places of worship will also be allowed as long as it does not exceed one third of its capacity and the safety and hygiene measures are respected. People must wear a mask and spaces must be disinfected beforehand. The use of blessed water or ritual ablutions, among other measures, will not be allowed.
Visits and Meetings
Meetings of up to ten people are allowed both at home and on the street.  Small groups for people who are not vulnerable and without previous pathologies who must maintain a safety distance of two meters. In addition, relatives may be visited, unless they are positive for Coronavirus or are in isolation.
At this stage, there will be increased use of the car and more than two people (as long as they live together) will be allowed in the vehicle. It can be used to visit a family member or to carry out any of the permitted activities.

Thanks for the translation!

I guess theres still a lot of questions left unanswered (as has been the norm with BOEs)

In these areas, it will be possible to move around the province, island or territorial unit of reference, always respecting the safety and hygiene measures, as well as maintaining the minimum safety distance of at least two meters, in groups of a maximum of ten people, although this limit will not apply between cohabitants.

Is visiting a beach for recreational use permitted?

In the wake, a maximum of 15 people may be in the open air or 10 in closed spaces,

Does this only refer to establishments, or public spaces as well (parks, gardens etc)

And no mention of time.

I'll try to go hunting for clarification on Spanish forums later tonight.
