The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) has just ratified that the Covid Certificate is mandatory to access the establishments, premises and facilities proposed by the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, as announced by the head of the Canarian Executive, Ángel Víctor Torres.
As one of the main measures to tackle the increase in infections, the Executive entrusted the Minister of Health to request the TSJC to support the mandatory nature of the COVID Certificate for access to certain leisure or commercial spaces, as determined by other superior courts of several Spanish communities.
The Canarian Government has always been confident that the TSJC would support the initiative of mandatory use of the COVID Certificate. Until now, the requirement of a certificate in nightlife or restaurants was only voluntary and allowed the application of measures of a lower level than the island in question. Now it will be mandatory, as is already the case throughout Europe, the world and in other regions of Spain, apart from the fact that it has already been supported by the Supreme Court.
