Have to agree. No reason whatsoever to be swanning around at 2.30am.

One can only assume that they were likely well lubricated to be out at that time & think that citing a “medical appointment” would not appear absolutely ludicrous 🤣😂🤣😂

On August 14, the Government of the Canary Islands published the resolution updating certain prevention measures to face the health crisis of COVID-19, which established the mandatory use of a mask on public roads, in outdoor spaces. outdoors and in any enclosed space for public use, or that is open to the public, regardless of maintaining the interpersonal safety distance of at least 1.5 meters.

Tamara: I was out in the car last Tuesday going to the cinema, 2 friends in car with me, we all had our masks on, parked up and the Police appeared from nowhere and started telling me off. I had crossed a solid white line to enter a parking space, oops, luckily I was just warned not fined. The Guardia Civil have taken to parking up on the Tindaya beach road and spot checking vehicles again like they did in lockdown. Then it was making sure it was locals going to their houses, now it's checking that all occupants are housemates or wearing masks. Then today, I was sitting outside our local bar enjoying a coffee and a cigarette (I was all on my lonesome, no one else in sight) when the Policia Local drew up next to where I was sitting. Driver got out and came up to me gesturing at my cigarette - I thought I know I'm ok, no one else within 10m, mask around my neck in case needed which I pulled up as he approached. Turned out he was bumming a cigarette, sat at the table with me while he smoked it!

Saw a similar report from Puerto recently. Some people simply don't care about the situation getting worse at all.

Similar reports from around the world. Masks are an infringement of their human/religious/civil rights. "The government can't make me wear anything" etc...  

I wouldn't mind if they were all nudists, but none of them seem to object to clothes being mandatory!

What are the current rules for a driver and passenger driving in a hire care please?
