Catalonia will keep until the next November 23 the majority of restrictions in force since October 30 aimed at curbing the rate of coronavirus infections. From that date, the Generalitat It is studying starting a de-escalation plan in which some of the current commercial, cultural or sports limitations would be lifted. The bars and restaurants, closed from October 16, they could use their terraces even partially and certain activities in outdoor spaces, such as the non-professional sport, they would be allowed again. However, gyms, cinemas, theaters, bingo halls, or game rooms they must continue, for the moment, with the blinds down.
The Government announced yesterday the extension for the next 10 days, pending publication this early morning in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat, of almost all the regulations issued at the end of last month, since the health situation is still far from the parameters set by the Health Department to get the pandemic under control.
THE COVID DATA
The counseling has set three objectives: that the number of patients admitted to intensive care units for Covid is not greater than 300, that the virus reproduction rate (Rt) is less than 1 (contagions that each infected person could produce) and that the cases detected daily do not exceed a thousand. Of the three figures, only the Rt has been achieved to decrease notably (today it is 0,85). In contrast, those affected by coronavirus in FIA are currently 585 (58% of total capacity) and daily infections continue to triple a thousand (2.918).
THE MODIFICATIONS
The main novelty regarding the restrictions that are still mandatory today is the reopening of the beauty or massage centers. On the other hand, the complaints of the restaurant sector regarding the hours of the takeaway or the controversial religious act of beatification in the sacred Family last Saturday, which brought together 600 people, have also motivated some changes in the rules.
Beauty and massage centers
Apart from the hairdressers and health services (physiotherapy or rehabilitation), which could continue to operate, as of this Saturday, companies that offer services that involve personal contact will be allowed to open. Always with appointment and shape individual. In addition, professionals must use protective equipment appropriate to the level of risk.
BARS AND RESTAURANTS

As a novelty, now customers can pick up orders in person at the premises until 22.00 hours (Before it was until 9:00 p.m.). The purchase receipt would justify the momentary breach of the curfew during the return home.
On the other hand, the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia Yesterday granted a period of two days to the Generalitat to justify the limitations to the restoration, despite refusing to suspend them as a precautionary measure as claimed by the employer Fecasarm.
Religious acts and civil ceremonies
In addition to the 30% capacity limitation, the novelty is that it is now determined that there will be a maximum of 100 people.
The three main mobility reduction regulations also remain in force:
