The Generalitat is studying the partial reopening of the terraces of bars and restaurants

The Govern It is considering the possibility that bars and restaurants, currently closed throughout Catalonia, can use the terraces at 50% of their capacity between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The Business Department transferred this proposal to Health a week ago to plan the gradual reopening of commerce and the restoration in different phases, according to the requests made by these sectors.

From the department that directs Ramon Tremosa (JxCat) it is considered that the epidemiological situation in Catalonia has changed and the sector can take a step forward, since the closure of the restoration and the limitations of trade have very important economic consequences for these sectors.

For this reason, the Company has proposed that, instead of once again extending the closure of the restoration, a measure that the Generalitat decreed to stop the pandemic in Catalonia, a step be taken and the terraces be allowed to open at noon and with 50% of the capacity.

This measure would be in the nivel 3b de-escalation, taking into account that the current level would be the 4, and would also include that non-essential goods stores can open with a capacity of 30%, without taking into account the current dimension of 800 square meters, and that shopping centers can open with a capacity of 30% within the premises and 20% in common areas, reports Efe.

This phase of the de-escalation proposed by the Company also contemplates that the companies of services involving close personal contact They can open by appointment and with one person for each service provider.

The proposal includes four phases that would end with the total reopening and always complying with the health and hygiene regulations decreed to contain coronavirus infections.

The Department of Business insists that the competent authority in this matter is Health and that it is the department led by Alba VergÃs (ERC) the one who has to make the decision.

The Catalan restaurant has been closed since last October 16 as a measure decreed by the Generalitat to contain the Covid pandemic and can only serve take away meals, which has sparked multiple protests from the sector.

The Restoration Guild has stated that it is a “completely insufficient proposal for the current situation of emergency and collapse of the economy.”
