La Rioja extends until January 31 the closure of the hotel industry at 1.00
The Government of La Rioja has decided this Wednesday to extend until January 31 the measures adopted to stop the spread of covid-19, such as the closure of the hotel and leisure industry at 1:00, something that was scheduled to end on January 24. January. The spokesman for the regional Executive, Álex Dorado, and the Director General of Public Health, Pello Latasa, explained, in a briefing, that this decision must be supported by the Superior Court of Justice of La Rioja (TSJR), which has already endorsed these measures when their validity was scheduled until the next day 24. “The current situation of the pandemic does not differ too much from the situation that existed when these measures were approved”, on December 28, Latasa stressed, which has influenced that We still have to wait “a few days” to confirm that the “peak” of the sixth wave of the pandemic has been reached and that the improvement in some indicators is consolidated.
The measures that are now maintained for one more week are, among others, the closure from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. of hotel and leisure establishments; the mandatory use of a mask inside these premises; the distance of one and a half meters between tables and between people to consume at the bar; and the requirement of the covid passport to enter bars, restaurants, nightclubs or tourist establishments. Dorado has had a special impact on the measure of the covid passport, which some regions are considering withdrawing, and has considered that the Riojan Government “considers that it is an effective tool, which has led to a significant part of the population being vaccinated I wasn’t before.” “In La Rioja, the pandemic remains high, above average, and, although an improvement is observed with a lower level of hospital pressure, we must continue to be cautious until the trend consolidates,” Latasa stressed.
