Shopping centres in the region such as Aqua, El Centro Comercial, El Saler, Hipercor, Bonaire or Nuevo Centro will remain open until 10 pm and El Corte Inglés will be able to keep its entire surface open to the public, with only the supermarket being open to the public until now, reports Las Provincias. Cinemas, theatres and museums will increase their capacity from 50 to 75 per cent and ceremonies and celebrations to 50 per cent. Groups of six people are permitted in public and two families in homes and private spaces. And Puig confirmed perimeter restrictions will remain in place until May 9. Valencia’s Ministry of Health plans to administer 249,743 doses of the four vaccines that are already authorised in the European market – Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen – over the next week. According to Health Minister, Ana Barceló, this level of doses will break a new record of inoculations in seven days, having slowed down slightly to 185,000 vaccinations a week. Referring to the four centres set up to speed up the vaccination campaign, Barceló said: “we can vaccinate seven days necessary and thus achieve the optimal rhythm that we all want and for which we have prepared”.

But the curfew still commences at 10pm so what the point in allowing shops, bars and restaurants to stay open until that time ? There’s no logic
