The bad part is not that the bars and restaurants are/stay closed. You can still buy drinks and food and consume them at home. Look at the numbers, it clearly helped. The problem is they don't give the promised help. Where is the erte? Where is the help promised to businesses? I have friends on erte since September. Not one cent. I have friend bar owner. Reached the bottom of his savings. Not one cent of help. I think people would be more relaxed and accept these restrictions easier if they would get the promised help. Imagine waiters, bartenders, chefs with 70% of their salaries, bar/restaurant owners with their rents/expenses covered, with bills reduced as the capacity of their place got reduced...much easier...I think people are mad about the wrong reasons...

Totally the right decision. It is still out of control in Mallorca, forget about the self interested idiots below, we need lockdown until May to sort this out.

I’m concerned this government buckles under pressure from powerful tourism lobby and choose economy over public health. Blabbering about safe corridors and vaccination passports to promote tourism. But the tax paying residents (not in tourism) they cannot provide for or vaccinate until after the summer. Shameful.

this decision does not make any sense, other than showing political power.

I think this government has proved to us all that they care more about Covid and saving a few lives, and leave 10,000 of lives in disarray and with no remorse take there livelihoods and put them into poverty with very little help. And this supposed to be a socialist government for the people. Its disgusting on so many levels and I would class it as communism. This government have failed everybody and I for one cannot wait to see the back of them.

Current infection rate 3.9%. R rate 0.51. ICU used 58%. What exactly are the numbers when our government is prepared to open up the economy to stop irreparable damage being done even more. Come on Armengol let us know what the target is.

perpetual lockdowns is killing people besides the economy.. mental health and being able to provide for their families and businesses decades old & new will not survive and politicians do not get affected as they and ALL CIVIL SERVANTS are on FULL PAY. (tax payers money salaries). the peasants are left behind. Covid 99%+ survival rate.. you know there is something more sinister ...
