INPRIMATU
All these activities will have no interruption in Hego Euskal Herria
  • Royal Decree 10/2020 mandates the closure of "non-priority" activities between 30 March and 9 April. March 30 will be a day for transition, where most companies will work. However, there are many workers from companies that have been recognized as "priority" by the Royal Decree, and that do not cease their activity in two weeks: Workers from companies with the requested or accepted temporary suspension (ERTE) regulation must go to their jobs. Distributors who have grown greatly in recent times will have to keep going, serving prepared food or distributing products purchased over the Internet.

The Royal Decree marks the period of suspension between 30 March and 9 April, both included. But on March 30, Monday, it's set out as a "transition." Workers will be able to go to their workplace "in cases where the suspension of activity is inadmissible".

If the carrier has hit them en route on 30 March and their activity is not qualified as a "priority", the suspension period shall begin for them after the end of the service being provided.
