Maximum 10 people at Christmas reunions on those Canary Islands placed at levels 2 and 3

The Deputy Minister of the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands, Antonio Olivera, announced this afternoon, that the regional Executive established a limit of a maximum of ten people (non-cohabitants) who meet in a private environment during the days 24 and 25 December. This limit is set in the case of islands at levels 2 and 3.

Olivera made it clear that this measure is only applicable in private settings, not in restaurants or other types of establishments, where the current restrictions will have to be followed, which are more restrictive (6 people at a table in the case of islands at level 3). The islands currently placed at level 3 are Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. 

These are measures similar to those adopted for Christmas 2020, making the limits more flexible on festive dates, but with maximum prevention given the increasing number of new cases in the archipelago.

The deputy counselor also announced that the Government will continue to monitor the evolution of the pandemic in the upcoming dates, so they can make the appropriate decisions for New Year's Eve and Reyes (Three Kings).
