TORRES SAYS ALL CANARY ISLANDS WILL EXIT STATE OF ALARM ON MONDAY
The Canaries President, Angel Victor Torres, will sign the decree today, making this community the first in Spain to finish de-escalation, lift the state of alarm, and enter the 'new normal'.
The Canary Islands will enter the so-called new normality next Monday, as confirmed by authorized sources last night, who also announced that the President of the Canary Islands Government, will sign the decree today by which he officially notifies the National Administration of the decision.
At a meeting to be held this afternoon by the Governing Council, Torres will give an account of the document, although it doesn't require their approval for its implementation.
Afterwards he will have a meeting with Pedro Sánchez to discuss the possibility that the Archipelago is also the first territory to abandon the state of alarm decreed on March 14th, which officially ends on Sunday 21st June.
The mere fact that the Islands can enter the new normality will imply substantial changes for everyone on a daily basis, especially on the capacity of establishments and public spaces, which can return to their usual amount, although with certain provisions to make it possible to maintain social distancing, which is now set at 1.5 meters by the Ministry of Health.
Confirmation of all 'new normal' provisions are expected to be published in the BOE in the next 48 hours.
