New Lockdown?

[frankie]

I've just been told that we are to be in lockdown again tomorrow.  Does anyone know if this is correct?

I have just checked and it is semi correct.  Bars must now shut early and people only allowed out for essential shopping etc but it is not a full lockdown.  I found it in the Costa Almeria news site.

  Hi Frankie, local municipalities locked down from midnight tonight for 11 days. Bars, restaurants and non essential shops to close at 6.00.pm. Curfew from 10.00.pm-7.00.am.  Hope that helps.

[frankie]

Yes, that is what I read.  Thanks for clarifying Billy1...  I reckon it is not a surprise as cases are rising.  Maybe if some of the people who wear a mask under the chin and wore them properly, we can all drink in bars until the wee small hours of the morning.

  Frankie, lets hope so! This will be re assessed on 23rd. If everyone behaves perhaps restrictions will be lessened.

I've just had another conversation with the Spanish lady who told me of the new measures and she seems to think I cannot go to another village now, even though it could still b in the same Province.  Help!!!  I have a vet visit on wednesday with my cat who needs lazer treatment and it is in Albox, which is out of my area....

  Frankie, from tomorrow you cannot travel out of Arboleas or Albox etc. No travelling for example from Arboleas to Albox. If you phone your vet, they should be able to email you paperwork needed to travel. I did this during last lockdown with no problems..

You should be OK as long as you take confirmation that you're going to the vets - it's for medical reasons.

[frankie]

Thank you both.  I will need to go to vet to get paperwork to say it is necessary to travel (I do not have a printer).  I did this last time and was only challenged twice and had to produce it..

Get vet to email confirmation you have an appointment.  I have 2 dogs needing blood tests before 25 November, one for leishmaniasis and the other to check his pancreas is still functioning normally.

No printer....

[Clare Shirley]

do you have a smart phone Frankie?

[Roscoe]

I believe she does.

[Roscoe]

Frankie you only need whatsapp or sent to your email address and if you are stopped just show them your appointment on your mobile.
