From the State Gazette, published on the sixth of June 2020.

Further flexibilisations for Phase 2 and Phase 3, valid as of Monday the 8th of June.

    • Bull-fights may be organised again, with 33% occupancy or max. 400 spectators in Phase 2 and 50% occupancy and max. 800 spectators in Phase 3. Pre-assigned seats.
    • Night clubs and discos may open in Phase 3, up to 33% occupancy. But you are not allowed to dance yet, the space reserved as dance floor may be used to put tables
    • Max. occupancy in casinos, betting and gaming venues 50% in Phase 3
    • No more obligatory masks when occupying motorcycles, mopeds and category L vehicles in general with 2 people
    • No more obligatory masks in private vehicles or private transport up to 9 places, and all seats may be used when all occupants are from the same household, max. 2 per row of seats when not, and keeping max. distance
    • No more masks obligatory in vehicles with just one row of seats, but max. occupancy of 2 people and keeping max. distance
    • In public transport vehicles up to 9 places, three seats in the rows behind the driver may be occupied if all passengers are from the same household, if not, max. 2, keeping max. distance
    • No limits to occupancy public transport, by bus or train, all seats may be used, but when occupancy allows, keep maximum distance.
    • Means of transport where passengers can use seats or stand, all seats may be occupied and as a general rule 2 people per m2 for standing passengers, keeping as much distance as possible

We realise that none of the written press have picked up on the disappearance of obligatory use of masks in vehicles up to 9 places, when not used for public transport and not all occupants are from the same family, or that for vehicles with just one row of seats, but we triple-checked and the new article that replaces the previous one, no longer mentions it. Should the government decide to amend or rectify this particular article, we will of course inform our members. See this instruction for the New Normality.

The general rule with regards to obligatory wearing of masks when making use of public transport remains in force.
