COVID-19 Measures. Oral mediation task
A friend of yours from England has to write a newspaper article about how different countries impose different restrictions to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. He sends you the restrictions they have in England and asks you how they compare to the Spanish ones. Send him a two-minute recording comparing and contrasting the measures introduced in Spain with the ones in England.

The police will be given the powers to make sure people follow the measures - by dispersing groups and issuing fines.
The
National Police Chiefs' Council told the BBC that officers would be
talking to people and explaining why they shouldn't be out.
If they do not accept the advice, they would then be given a fine. However, fines won't be issued until Parliament passes the emergency legislation - which should be by the end of Thursday.
The Home Office has not said, at this stage, how big the fines are likely to be.
Councils
will also play a role. Licensing, environmental health and trading
standards teams will be used to make sure that local businesses follow
the rules.
The Local Government Association says that "anyone who
sees a business breaching government closure restrictions should report
it to their local council so it can investigate and take appropriate
action".
If a customer visits any of these premises, they need to ensure they stick to the social distancing rules.

Below please
find a document which has been translated published by the
Andratx town hall, which I thought would be of interest to you.
Translation
thanks to Anne Kay.
The Andratx local police answer some of the questions re the State of
Alarm
1.Can I
take my dog for a walk?
It is not
to do with going for a walk with your pet but rather to do with taking the dog
out to do its motions. The whole family cannot go.
If you have
two or more dogs, you must take them out together, or even two walks but you
cannot go with somebody else.
The dogs
cannot go for walks on the beach, it is forbidden. .
For hygiene
and cooperation, you must remember that animal excrement must be picked up and
the area washed down with water, if possible with a little bleach.
2.I have
a dog in a house in the country, can I go to feed it?
Yes, you
can go to feed the dog or other animals, but you must always go alone.
3.Can I
move house?
This is not
an activity allowed for individuals, but it is for removal firms. Once
the removal is over, you can go to your new home but you cannot go back and
forth from one home to the other.
4.Can I
cycle or practice sports?
Yes, you
can move around by bicycle but only for one of the motives which leaving one's
home is allowed. You are not allowed to go for a ride or practise sports.
Neither is
practising sports in a public space allowed. If you do this you can be
prosecuted.
5.Can I
go to the hardware shop or to the builders' merchant's?
Yes, but
only to buy butane, animal food and hardware items. Always respecting
security norms and rules. It is also allowed for wholesalers who need to
purchase things to be able to carry out their business activity correctly.
6.At the
'estanco'/newsagents other objects are on sale besides newspapers and tobacco, can I go to
buy them?
NO. They
can only sell the authorised items. If you acquire or sell other products
that are not allowed both you and the premises can be fined.
7.Can I
carry out controlled garden waste bonfires?
NO. These
have been suspended since March 17th.
8.Can I
go to buy butane?
There is
home delivery for butane. If the case is urgent it must be justified for
the nearest supplier to come, or go to the hardware shop.
9.Can I
pick someone up from the airport?
NO. Only
one person may go in a car, except in justified cases.
10.Can
more than one person go in a vehicle?
NO. Only
one person may go, unless it is to accompany a handicapped person, a minor or
another justified reason.
11. And
in a taxi?
Only one
person is allowed, not counting the taxi-driver. The journey should be
for one individual unless he/she is accompanying a handicapped person, minors
or for another justified reason.
12.Can I
go to the beach or children's playgrounds?
NO. No this
is not an activity allowed for leaving your home.
13.Can I
go shopping with my underage children or with elderly people?
If you do
not have anyone to leave them with, they can accompany you. But if there
is an adult at home, for their well-being and for others, they should stay at
home. Be responsible.
If elderly
people went shopping alone before, there is no need to accompany them. If
not, you can do their shopping without them.
14.Can I
mow the lawn in my home?
There is no
service for the collection of cuttings. .
15.Can I
go to the Punt Verd (municipal deposit)?
NO, it is
closed.
16.Can I
go shopping?
Yes as long
as it is not to a business that does not limit the public's circulation.
17.Are
the areas of loading and unloading active?
Yes, they
are still valid for designated vehicles.
18.Can I
go from one municipality to another?
Yes, as
long as it is for one of the motives that does not limit the public's
transit. For example, if you live in one municipality and work in
another, you may circulate.
19.Can
the cafeteria in a business be open for the employees?
NO, there
is no distinction between cafés.
20.Can I
do tasks at the Town Hall?
Only for
urgent cases, and with a prior appointment. For this you should call one
of the designated numbers (971 62 80 00, 971 62 80 01 or 971 62 80 02). In any
case you are advised to use the Electronic Centre.
21.Should
I carry a document from my employer to justify that I am going to work?
It is
advisable for the firm to issue a document with all the details of the
employer and the employee. This will facilitate the Security Force's
work.
22.May I
go to the mechanic or wash my vehicle?
The vehicle
workshops can be open to finish the existing work on cars that were already
there, and to guarantee the repairs to emergency vehicles, public services plus
the car wash service.
23.I
have a judicial citation. Must I go to the Courts?

NORMAL.
IF YOU STAY
AT HOME, YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOU PROTECT OTHERS.
