But bar and restaurant interiors in Mallorca will remain closed until April 26, by which time the effect of the Easter holidays on infections will be known for sure. Terraces must continue to close at 17:00 and capacity is limited to 50%.
Mallorca remains at level 2 risk of infection, Ibiza has also now moved to level 2 and Minorca and Formentera are at level 1.
“The different restrictions in the Islands is based on health criteria, which is supported by epidemiological data and scientific studies in different environments that allow activity in sensitive economic sectors but at a minimum level of activity and understanding the difficulties and situation of sectors such as catering and others with significant constraints,” said Minister Negeruela.
He added that the restrictions are being extended now in order to safeguard the summer season.
"We can't lower our guard, we have to keep the virus at bay, think about other people and remember that a good part of our economy depends on us reaching the summer with conditions that allow us to activate the tourist season, that is key for thousands of workers,” he said.
