Following yesterday’s meeting of the health alert committee, it has been decided to extend the closure of non-essential businesses for a further 14 days, starting at 00:00 tonight, as the active incidence rate remains above 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. As a result, Manilva will continue under the same restrictions of level 4, grade 2 that the municipality has been under for 7 days, and which are causing some businesses to close for good because they cannot meet the costs of running any activity.
LEVEL 4 GRADE 2 RESTRICTIONS
These are some of the measures that came into force in Manilva on Wednesday 27 January and which will remain in place for the time being until at least 17 February, if the active incidence rate in the town falls:
