The current measures that will be extended include the following:
Restaurants and entertainment venues close at midnight without music, with up to six customers per table, not standing, and with distancing between tables.
There is also a ban on holding parties in public or private spaces so as avoid entertainment simply being moved to a different venue.
The wearing of FFP2/K95 masks, or a double surgical mask, is compulsory in supermarkets, in mass transit, in situations of crowding, and for restaurant workers.
Up to 50 percent of the private sector work force will do tele-work with a rolling schedule, according to the capabilities of each service.
