This is the summer that would await Madrid if Ayuso abided by Sánchez's anticovid restrictions

The Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso has already announced that it will not abide by the new restrictions that the Government of Pedro Sánchez intends to impose in Madrid almost a month after abandoning the autonomous communities to their fate with the end of the State of Alarm. The central executive insists that these are mandatory measures, despite having been taken within the Interterritorial Health Council whose decisions are not binding. That is precisely the argument that Madrid uses for not applying these measures, which it is going to appeal. Thus, in the end it will be the Justice that will have to decide whether or not the Community of Madrid should implement these restrictions. If this were finally the case, the panorama that would reign in Madrid would be very different from the current one. According to the document approved this Wednesday – with the refusal of Ayuso and 5 other Autonomous Communities – Madrid is at alert level 3 due to the incidence of Covid-19 in the region, in this scenario these are the measures that would be in force in the community: Mobility The document “Coordinated response actions to control the transmission of COVID-19” establishes that, at alert level 3, entry and exit from the territorial area should be limited except for essential activities. In other words, the so-called perimeter closure of the region is imposed.In addition, the document recommends not leaving the home and avoiding closed spaces where activities incompatible with the use of masks are carried out and many people attend.Hospitality and leisure With respect to the hospitality industry, applying the measures that Sánchez wants, Madrid would be forced to close the interior of bars and restaurants, as well as bingo halls, casinos, arcades and games and specific betting establishments, and would have forbidden to allow the opening of nightlife. In addition, until 70% of the population and all those over 50 are fully immunized, it could not open the establishments until later than one in the morning. Currently, the regional Executive allows up to eight diners at outdoor tables of hospitality establishments but with Sánchez’s restrictions, it would be necessary to return to a maximum of six people per table and with a capacity of 75%. On the other hand, gyms should remain closed and places of worship could only have a third of the capacity . Exams and work The EvAU (old Selectividad) could not be held in person next week as planned and would have to be suspended leaving the university future of thousands of students in suspense. Work Congresses should be entirely telematic and it is recommended to continue promoting teleworking and not meeting with colleagues to eat or drink, not even keeping the corresponding safety distance .
