Since Sunday 28 November, shops, bars, restaurants, discotheques, snack bars, cinemas, etc. have to close at 5 pm and may not open again in the Netherlands until 5 am. You could see that as a disguised curfew lockdown with the exception that you can still be outside on the street after 5 pm. But what is the current situation in Spain with the catering industry, shops, etc.
The Netherlands has had to tighten the corona belt again because around 22,000 infections are reported every day and the hospitals and intensive care units are becoming increasingly full. That is why, since Sunday 28 November, strict rules apply to the catering industry that must be locked at 5 pm such as: restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars, discos, terraces, snack bars, beach pavilions, coffee shops and ice cream parlors.
Also non-essential shops such as: clothing stores, home improvement stores, electronics stores, hardware stores, kitchen stores, garden centers, jewelers and bookstores must close at 5 p.m. Essential stores such as: supermarkets, pet stores, drugstores, hearing care professionals, opticians, laundries, dry cleaners and wholesalers are allowed to remain open until 8 pm.
And in Spain?
For the time being, there are no special closing times for the hospitality industry, shops, shopping centers, non-essential and essential stores in Spain. These are generally open at normal opening and closing times throughout the country. This often means that shops are open until 9pm, 10pm or later and bars and restaurants are open late into the evening/night. This can be called positive. This is the result of good policy and proper compliance with the rules.
In various autonomous regions such as Catalonia, Aragón, Galicia, Navarra, Balearic Islands and perhaps the Valencia region, showing a corona pass is mandatory in some cases with regard to bars, pubs, restaurants, discotheques and other night establishments.
