PHASES OF TRANSITION TO NORMALCY

PHASES OF TRANSITION TO NORMALCY


The Government has prepared a transition plan to return to normalcy in four phases. The changeover from one phase to another will take about two weeks and would be completed in June. These periods may vary depending on a number of indicators, such as the pandemic situation in each province and island in the country, health capacity, and other socio-economic data.

These are some of the activities that can be carried out in each phase. The islands of Formentera (Balearic Islands), La Gomera, Hierro and La Graciosa (Canary Islands) started from Phase 1 of this plan because of their disease-free status.
Since May 11, part of the Spanish territory has entered Phase 1.
