Maskerplicht op het plein vandaag officieel bevestigd, geldt helaas ook voor de castillos.
Some "almost normal" Fallas except for the mask
The mask will be mandatory in the mascletaes, in which there will be no capacity control, and in any act with agglomeration but not for the participants in "ordered" parades | The camps and tents must follow the rules of the hotel industry, which will be relaxed next week
The
Fallas 2022 and the Magdalena may not be like those of 2019, but they will be quite similar. The only big difference will be the
use of masks in outdoor crowds (mascletaes, discomobiles...) and indoors because the vast majority of restrictions that were put in place to make it possible to "party" last September As a distance between falleras in the offering, they will disappear and now, contrary to the situation at the time, nightlife is open and there is no curfew in Valencia.
This has been transferred by the
president of the Generalitat, Ximo
Puig, in an appearance before the media in which he has once again asked for prudence and co-responsibility because the
pandemic, although declining, is still "with us" but assuring that
"it was time to start the spring of recovery" and the Fallas embodied that positive "recovery spirit" both economically and emotionally. Thus, they will be
" safe failures but as many failures as possible".
We will have to wait to know the details of the festive protocol, but due to what was transferred both by Puig and by the regional secretary of Public Health, Isaura Navarro, the
mascletaes as we knew them will return, without capacity control and one for each day of March from from 1 to 19, but with a "mandatory" mask since it is an agglomeration and that is how it is foreseen in the state regulation. It should be remembered that since last Thursday, the mask is no longer mandatory outdoors but it must still be worn "in mass events that take place in outdoor spaces, when attendees are standing", according to the legal text now in force. .
The same will happen with other acts such as
castillos or when attending to see the Offering although, yes, the participants will not have to bring it. In general,
it will not be necessary for any of the members in "ordered" parades , as Navarro explained, such as offerings and cavalcades. In this section enter the tickets, targets and acts of musketry of Moors and Christians. They will have to take it, for example, in the Pilgrimage to Magdalena, as it is not an "ordered" parade.
In the protocol, according to Navarro, the peculiarities of each party have been taken into account and the rules have been adapted to each act.
The festive groups and groups will continue to be linked to the regulations that apply to restoration at that time . At this time there is still
access control by covid certificate (if events are going to be held in which there is food and drink),
tables with a maximum of 10 diners, mask indoors and cross ventilation. If the Fallas were to be held today, the closed houses would have to apply all the rules, but according to the
president , next week the rules that are in force will be reviewed and, "if everything continues on the same horizon" of decrease of the pandemic as now
"the current restrictions will be substantially lowered".
This means that, as Navarro has recalled, in Fallas it is more than possible that the maximum number of people per table and the covid certificate have fallen and the mask and the need to guarantee cross ventilation would be maintained, although we will have to wait.
Yes, the recommendation that
the tents work as much as possible in "open air" mode is maintained, that is, with two sides open all the time to guarantee ventilation. If you choose to close them, the interior regulations would have to be applied. The recommendation of Public Health is that meals, lunches and dinners be done, preferably outdoors, that is, in tents that have a maximum of two sides or on a limited street.
Like last year, the figure of "covid managers" is maintained in each festive organization to apply recommendations, standards and resolve doubts.
Consolidated fall, change of speech
The scenario with which the Fallas 2022 are now facing has nothing to do with the one painted by President
Ximo Puig himself just 10 days ago. It was during the visit of Minister Carolina Darias when Puig announced that the Josephine festivities were not going to be able to be celebrated
"completely normally" and that they depended on the "conditions that the pandemic demands" sending a message that the Fallas were going to be more similar to September than to any other March.
What has changed so that the discourse has turned so importantly? For now,
on February 3, only three days had passed since the sixth wave had begun to fall and there was still fear that there could be a rebound. Since then,
two consecutive weeks of falling contagion figures have already been completed , in addition, in an important and sustained way.
The maximum incidence was marked on Friday, January 28, with 4,305 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while last Friday it was almost half, at 2,041 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and falling, as well as the numbers of hospitalized and seriously ill patients in the ICU. or indicators that predict changes in trend such as the reproductive number (which marks how many new infections each infected person generates), which remains at 0.7 below the pandemic control threshold, set at 1.
Regarding the possibility that making almost normal failures could
lead to a new wave of coronavirus, the president recalled that the more contacts there are, the more infections, but that, now, there were "different conditions".
"If we maintain prudence we can begin a transition to normality . It is time to start recovery. It is very timely that these Fallas are celebrated, but each one from co-responsibility and prevention", said Puig.
El tapabocas será obligatorio en las mascletaes, en las que no habrá control de aforo, y en cualquier acto con aglomeración pero no para los participantes en desfiles "ordenados" | Los casales y carpas deberán seguir las normas de la hostelería, que se relajarán la semana que viene
