Get to know about the restrictions that will change from 04.10.2021 on the Canary Islands

Meetings in a private setting, up to a maximum of four people, may be between non-cohabitants | PCR will no longer be necessary for inter-island travel

 

This Friday the extraordinary measures of Holy Week 2021 end. After the Government of the Canary Islands decreed a series of restrictions for the period between March 26 and April 9, from this Saturday the provisions for each level of alert. Among the most substantial, the limitations in meetings in the private sphere and the possibility of making inter-island trips without presenting a negative result in an active diagnostic test (PDIA).

For alert level 3, in which Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura will continue for at least one more week, there will be no variations regarding the limitation of freedom of movement at night (from 22:00 to 6:00); nor in the number of people who can be found in the private sphere and in public spaces (maximum of four). The only exchange that will take place in this regard from this Saturday, April 10, is that people who do not live together can meet in private spaces as long as the number stipulated for this level is not exceeded.

In the hotel and restaurant industry there will be no variation whatsoever in the capital islands and Fuerteventura. And it is that the interiors will remain closed and will have to continue dispatching a maximum of four people (unless they are living together) at the tables located on the terraces, reduced to 50% of their total capacity. For its part, the closing of the premises will have to be before 22:00.

Despite the fact that it is no longer mandatory to present a negative active diagnostic test (PDIA) for inter-island trips, it will be necessary to duly justify the trips originating from or going to Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, islands at alert level 3.

In physical activity everything will remain as it has been until now. Sports practice will be allowed indoors as long as 33% of the capacity and four people (including the monitor) are not exceeded; the safety distance can be maintained; and use a mask
