Bars must be closed from 22:00 on Thursday in Lapurdi, Baja Navarra and Zuberoa. This new measure was announced this morning at a press conference by the Prefect of the Atlantic Pyrenees, Eric Spitz.
As for the extent of coronavirus infection, the situation is also getting worse every day in Iparralde. The department of the Atlantic Pyrenees, which includes Lapurdi, Baja Navarra and Zuberoa, has tightened up the measures decreed by the French Prime Minister, Jean Castex, on the occasion of the health emergency.
The meeting of more than six people on the street is prohibited and it is "recommended" that this limitation be observed in the private sphere. The Prefect of the Atlantic Pyrenees, Eric Spitz, has listed the exceptions to this ban: vindictive demonstrations, professional meetings and activities, passenger transport services, outdoor buildings housing the public, funeral ceremonies, guided tours and markets organised by professionals. The acts of more than 1,500 people have to be declared in the prefecture, as has been the case so far.
In addition, if the use of the mask is not guaranteed, any private act offering drink or food is prohibited.
