The regional Department of Health has asked the Superior Tribunal of Justice to approve the requirement for a “Covid Passport” for entry into restaurants and bars.
All clients will be required to show their Covid Certificate in order to enter any bar, restaurant, nightclub, discoteque etc in the region.
A Covid Certificate shows double (or treble) vaccination against Covid-19; an antigen test; or proof that the person has had Covid-10 and recovered.
Up to now it was the certificate was only obligatory if the interior of the premises was 100% occupied.
This measure will remain in force until January 14, if the Tribunal approves it.
The current incidence in the Murcia region is 251 to every 100,000 head of population, which constitutes a “high risk” of contagion. However, the Murcia region remains in the “low risk” category because the pressure on medical and hospital services has not increased significantly.
The Covid-19 vaccination for children aged between 5 and 11 years has been approved and will begin on December 13.
Although this children in this age group generally have “very light symptoms” if they catch the virus, the group represents more than half of the contagions in the region.
