CULTURE
In the yellow zone the cultural activities start again. Museums, cinemas and concert halls can open every day of the week. Even indoors with pre-assigned seats and half the capacity. Maximum 500 people indoors and 1000 outdoors. Discos remain closed.

EXHIBITIONS
From 15 June they can be done in the yellow zone. From July 1st, congresses and conventions can be held and spas and theme parks can open.

CURFEW
The curfew is confirmed at 10pm. The decree is valid until July 31st, but there is no deadline for the end of the night travel block. All measures will be reviewed based on the progress of the epidemic. The curfew is still in effect at different times in many European countries. The most restrictive case is that of France, which blocks everything at 7 pm. In the coming weeks it should be lifted in Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria. Germany just introduced it starting at 9pm.

According to a study reported by Youtrend the curfew “has a ‘moderate but statistically significant’ effect, resulting in a 13% reduction in the effective reproduction index Rt”. Blocking the movement of the most active population has a similar effect to the use of masks in public places.
