• Someone asked, what feels like a billion pages back, what countries are going to do to leave lockdown. And then you all started banging on about fuck knows what.

    If anyone is interested, Spain has announced quite detailed plans for the next 8 weeks.

    Starting from next weekend, there will be fortnightly “phases” of de confinement focused on slowly bringing business up to speed and allowing people to gather.

    Starting with people being allowed out to excercise and then visit small shops and bars/restaurants for takeaway orders.

    Following on, the hospitality industry will begin operating at 30% occupancy with some exceptions, and small businesses can open (and I can finally get a haircut)

    Then it slowly scales up, with increased occupancy and opening of cultural sites, cinemas etc. This projected by mid June.

    Large commercial centres will stay closed, and no school til September.

    For context, there has been no leaving homes apart from basics since mid March, and children were only allowed out at the weekend.
