Government requests curfew extension and lowering of incidence rate to apply it
Nightly stay-at-home orders currently in towns with 250 fortnightly cases per 100,000 population but authorities lowers level to 125
The Catalan government has requested the courts to prolong the nightly curfew in 148 towns for another week, while also modifying the criteria for the nightly stay-at-home measure to be applied.
Before now, the curfew was only ordered on towns of populations greater than 5,000 with a cumulative incidence rate of more than 250 cases per 100,000 over the past seven days, but the new modification will see the cap set at 125 cases.
In total, the measure will apply to 148 municipalities if approved by the High Court of Catalonia: 125 are due to a 7-day cumulative incidence of more than 125 cases and 23 others because they are surrounded by such towns.
The measures are expected to take effect this Friday for a period of seven days.
