Two nightlife venues in Playa Blanca have been reported by the Civil Guard for non-compliance with health regulations, after several inspections carried out on July 12 and 19 in a shopping center in Playa Blanca. Likewise, the agents reported five people who were not wearing masks in public areas.
According to the Benemérita, the inspections were carried out in collaboration with the Local Police, carrying out four each day, with the aim of determining compliance with the health regulations established by the Government of the Canary Islands.
The first four inspections were carried out on July 12, resulting in two sanction proposals - one to each establishment - which were sent to the Minister of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands.
A week later, specifically on July 19, the agents of the Civil Guard of the Main Post of Yaiza, supported by the Rapid Intervention Group (GIR of Costa Teguise) and in coordination again with the Local Police, returned to inspect the same businesses in order to verify that once inspected they complied with current regulations, verifying that only one of them failed to comply with the established health measures, which is why the corresponding administrative infraction was prepared.
Also, based on existing regulations to deal with the health crisis, the agents administratively reported five people who were not using masks in public areas, as it should be worn when maintaining a interpersonal safety distance of at least 1.5 meters is not guaranteed.
Most common irregularities detected
Among the omissions detected by the agents, it is highlighted that access to the establishment was not made through nominal tickets or in reserved groups, that consumption was not carried out directly in each reserved area, that the proper safety distance was not maintained or, failing that, a mask was used, and that the establishments lacked a capacity sign at the entrance and there was no adequate access control to the establishment.
According to the Benemérita, all these breaches could constitute a serious infraction included in the General Public Health Law, under the assumption of carrying out conduct that could produce a serious risk to the health of the population. These infractions are quantified in a range that goes from 3,000 to 60,000 euros, the administrative authority responsible for this being the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands.
Closure proposal
In addition, to prevent these breaches from continuing to occur, a proposal has been submitted to the municipal authorities so that the establishments that do not comply with the resolution of the Government of the Canary Islands can be closed.
