Measures on the closure of establishments and businesses with exceptions

Hello everyone, here we leave you the order of the Ministry of Health by which complementary measures are adopted to the Order of the Ministry of Health by which the activation of the PLATEMUR plan is urged to face the global pandemic of Coronavirus.

 

According to reports from the relevant departments of the Ministry of Health, the epidemiological situation could worsen imminently if social distancing measures are not strengthened, both due to the dynamics of the cases already confirmed in the Region and the increase in the population from areas where community transmission is observed.

Therefore, faced with an infection with significant transmissibility (each patient can cause two or three illnesses) and the potential repercussions on people's health and the healthcare system (6.4% of patients in Spain have required admission to the ICU and 2.9% have died), it is strictly necessary to generalize some of the extraordinary measures to stem the epidemic throughout the Region.

However, as of today, extending lockdown measures restricting people's freedom of movement to the entire region is not essential to ensuring containment of transmission. Instead, social distancing measures are required, with the suspension of operations in cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, bars and other similar leisure and entertainment establishments, shops and shopping centers, and parks and gardens.

Furthermore, given the doubts that have arisen among some commercial and public sectors, it is necessary to determine the list of recreational and leisure establishments that will be required to close, as well as to define their inclusions within the definition of commerce and to specify the list of establishments estimated to provide essential goods.

Therefore, the purpose of this Order is to extend the closure measures for cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, bars, and other similar leisure and entertainment establishments, shops and shopping centers, and parks and gardens to the entire Region of Murcia. The Order also determines the list of leisure and entertainment venues that must close, as well as specify the list of establishments that provide essential goods and establish recommendations to ensure safe operation.
