Citizens will be able to leave Navarra from Sunday
- As of next Sunday the perimeter ban on leaving Navarre is lifted, as the Government of Navarre reported this Wednesday in a statement. On that day, May 9, the state of alarm decreed by the Government of Spain is over so that the deaths can occur. The order is valid until May 20.
In the decisions taken, Vice-President Javier Remírez and the Health Advisor, Santos Induráin, have reported two other significant measures: the terraces of the bars can stay open until 22:00 hours and up to six people from two family units can stay in their homes.
According to the two members of the government, the epidemiological situation of Navarra allows such measures, with a cumulative impact of 306 cases in the last 14 days and a positivity rate of 5.4 cases. 180 people are admitted to hospitals and 31 of them in the ICU. A total of 267,159 vaccines have already been administered, of which 82,109 have received all the necessary vaccine, i.e. 15 per cent of the vaccine population.
CAV closed for the moment
The communities of La Rioja and Aragon have also announced the suspension of the perimeter bans for the departure of their respective territories. Not so in the CAV. Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has stated that the situation in the CAV is not flexible and that he would like to maintain the perimeter closure of the villages and territories. As he has announced, the Basque Government is preparing a decree for this, so that it will enter into force when the state of alarm is suspended at the state level, in order to maintain the perimeter prohibitions and the eviction order.
The prosecutor of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country, however, has already announced that, once the state of alarm has been deactivated, he considers that the Basque Government would have no powers or perimeter prohibitions or eviction order. The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country will have to resolve the ruling before Friday. Special situations may arise until the State Trials adopt more generic measures. The Prosecutor’s Office of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country will appeal the eviction order, but the Government of Navarra has announced that it maintains the eviction order that is in force.
What about Iparralde?
It stays in the air if you can move from Navarra to Iparralde. The President, María Chvite, said that it is the responsibility of the Spanish Government and that it is the one who has to decide on this issue. Only people currently living 30 kilometres from the border can cross the border without special permission. The rest have to do the PCR test and can only pass if it is negative, provided that it is accompanied by the negative document, which has a expiry period of three days.
