The Teguise City Council has launched this Sunday the new comprehensive system for the operation of the Market after the award of health and cleaning services, new devices for sterilization, disinfection and hygiene, surveillance and security systems and devices, automatic dispensing machines for sanitary products.
In addition, it has also launched health work, facility sanitization services, "among other issues that will continue to boost the Historic Site of the Villa and its network of shops, bars and restaurants every Sunday," said the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, celebrating this new award "the result of a diligent technical work of the municipal staff in collaboration with the Emerlan and Civil Protection Teguise teams, who have contributed to its success during all this time."
The object of the contract, valued at just over 274 thousand euros, according to the Consistory, consists of "the coordination, execution, organization and control of the various tasks for the correct operation of the activity that takes place every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Plaza de la Mareta", whose maximum capacity is 1,000 people and which requires an approved Security and Emergency Plan for its reopening in November 2020 and adapted to the circumstances of the pandemic.
The Market of the Historic Site of the Villa de Teguise has received an average of "7 thousand visitors every Sunday" since then, who have had to pass a capacity control with temperature measurement, comply with the obligation to wear a mask, among other recommendations such as payment by card.
"Currently, the delimited area where the event takes place hosts a total of 150 stalls, and for its possible expansion, both in surface area and merchants, it is necessary to offer services that guarantee the safety of users," explains the councilor Eugenio Robayna.
In this sense, the City Council points out that the new contract reflects several technical conditions that are added to the objectives achieved so far, respecting the regulations and the Covid19 prevention regulations for public activities and a security plan specifically drafted for the activity, which includes a Covid19 contingency plan and contagion prevention.
In this way, "the control of the enabled and limited space is carried out with more human resources (doctors and capacity and temperature controllers) and emergency vehicles (including an ambulance); cameras to control capacity; automatic hydroalcoholic gel dispensers; a professional service that certifies every Sunday the correct assembly of all non-permanent demountable structures that are installed, apart from the cleaning service of facilities and disinfection against Covid-19, which is carried out before opening the site and once the market and the removal of the stalls is finished."
