Phase 1 - 11th May 2020

Adults were allowed out for a one hour walk, with one other member of their household only or to participate in individual sports such as cycling. These walks must be taken within a one hour time slot and during the appropriately allocated time slots

• Open-air markets, with distance conditions between the stalls.
• Bars and restaurants: The opening of bar and restaurant terraces at 50% of their capacity will be allowed.
• Hotels and tourist accommodation: Opening of hotels and other tourist accommodation, excluding common areas and with a preferential schedule for people over 65 years of age.
• Non-professional sport: any activities that do not involve physical contact or the use of changing rooms will be allowed.
• Professional sport: Professional athletes will have fewer restrictions since training will be authorized in professional leagues and in high-performance centres. Also, professional leagues will restart their activity.
• Cultural shows of less than 30 people indoors (with a third capacity) and less than 200 people outdoors.
