From March 26 to April 9, the measures associated with each alert level will not be what determines what can and cannot be done on each island. On those dates, the additional restrictions approved this Thursday by the Canary Islands Government Council will be in effect.
One of the main novelties will be that mobility between islands will be "restricted", although with exceptions. In practice, this will mean that you can travel from one island to another, but to do so, passengers will be required to provide a negative Covid test. Only people traveling for justified reasons (such as work or health reasons) will be exempt, as they are the ones who can travel even if there is a perimeter closure.
Regarding connections with the Peninsula, the Canary Islands Government assumes that they will be almost non-existent, given that all the communities will be closed. Only the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands had been left out of that perimeter closure for Easter, but in practice it will also affect the archipelago. And it is that no citizen of the Peninsula will be able to travel, because they cannot leave their community. Again, the only exception is for travel for justified reasons or for residents of the Canary Islands who are returning home, who will have to do so by presenting a PCR or a negative antigen test.
In addition, regardless of the alert level of each island, other additional restrictions will be applied during those two weeks, such as prohibiting meetings in homes, where only cohabitants may be present.
As for meetings in public spaces, during that period they will be unified and in alert levels 1 and 2, which is where Lanzarote is currently located, they will be limited to a maximum of four people.
This will also affect the hotel and restaurant industry. Currently, in level 2, consumption at the bar and tables of four people indoors and six on the terraces is allowed. However, from March 26 to April 9, there will be a maximum occupancy of four people per table, both indoors and outdoors.
As for the curfew, it will also be tightened again in Lanzarote during that period, being established from 10 p.m., both for level 2 and for level 3 and level 4. As for level 1, the restriction of circulation will start at 11 p.m.
