Re: First steps after lockdown
Next steps? How about testing and vaccination for key workers , important people and the politicians of course. Ordinary people kept at home with old and vulnerable people at the back of the queue. They can or are after all staying in. I base that on something our illustrious EU leader said “ she expects the older to be locked down until the end of the year”.
meanwhile Greece thinks it will restart limited tourism in July. Laudable and maybe achievable through a sort of first class society i.e. those with a clean , vaccinated health passport and of course frequent testing e.g. arrive at airport, temp test on embarking and arrival. And vice versa on return.

Re: First steps after lockdown
We cross the frontier into Spain 5 days a week and travel about 30 km
I exercise in Spain because I am not allowed to in Gibraltar ( hopefully that will change in the next week )
Also I shop in Mercadona.

Re: First steps after lockdown
You shouldn't be "excercising" in Spain either shopping doctors Farmicia yes excercis isn't a criteria allowed unless one person excersising a dog. I wish it were if we were allowed solo isolated walk daily I would find this situation much less tedious. The police and Guardia Civi check our village and area and some I know have been told to go home.

Yes, same here, small village in the hills would be easy to stay isolated and walk but.....rules are rules. And the GC are patrolling...
Thank God for the garden and terrace.

I am also checked daily by immigration and customs
Plus I have to pass through the road blocks.
I have more hassle leaving Spain than I do entering.
On re-entering Gib I am usually greeted by Hello Fred

Re: First steps after lockdown
I agree totally things will just not revert to exactly as they were before all this started. The world has changed and the knock-on effects will be felt for a very long time by us all.
The lockdown ending is just the first step of a very long and probably frustrating road.

But having been around for 73 years, I unfortunately retain a measure of cynicism that won't go away. I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong.

Re: First steps after lockdown
Hi Fred but did they check you as exercising or to see if you are shopping etc? As far as I understand rules in Spain currently we are not allowed out simply for excercise? Borders etc I know nothing off.

Not that I am worrying? Just saying how I understand the rules.

Its the same here to police checks and road blocks everywhere.my wife was shopping in lidl and the police were there telling the manager to wipe down trolleys and to keep people apart and told an old couple they were not allowed to be together.

There could be light glimmering at the end of the tunnel.

“Children are now allowed to leave their homes with an adult once per day. Spaniards will be allowed to leave their homes for short walks and exercise starting on 2 May, having previously only been permitted to go out for essential shopping or to go to work that cannot be done from home.”
