The new town perimeter closures begin this Friday and not on Saturday as planned: {Translated from sevilla.abc.es}
Updated: 02/18/2021, 21:35
-The Junta de Andalucía has just announced that the new perimeter closures of the municipalities that have today exceeded the contagion rate of 500 will begin at midnight, maintaining, however, the same period of restrictions of seven days.
-This has just been announced following the telematic meeting of the various Territorial Public Health High Impact Alert Committees, or expert committees. Therefore, the new measures will come into force at 00.00 hours on Friday 19 February 2021, after publication in the extraordinary BOJA which will come out Thursday night.
-This is one of the main measures agreed in these eight provincial meetings in which the new confinements have been decreed for all those Andalusian municipalities that exceed the contagion rate of 500 cases per hundred thousand inhabitants, in addition to those that exceed a thousand cases, in which case they will also have to close the businesses considered non-essential.
-Likewise, all those who have exceeded these two infection thresholds on Thursday will be under restrictions for seven days, that is, until 00:00 hours on 26 February. This new measure also affects the towns that have been closed since last Saturday and which will no longer comply with these restrictions as of midnight tonight. And this is thanks to the downward trend they have been following over the last six days. This new determination will be published, as well as the previous one, in the BOJA of this Thursday.
The good evolution of the incidence data has made it possible to bring forward the entry into force of the new measures by one day. The aim is to facilitate economic activity and mobility in those places where there is full evidence that the data have experienced a very favourable evolution, according to Junta sources. Source, Spanish: https://sevilla.abc.es/andalucia/sevi-coronavirus-andalucia-nuevos-cierres-perimetrales-empiezan-este-viernes-y-no-sabado-como-estaba-previsto-202102181903_noticia.html
Update From Junta de Andalucía’s Minister of Health, Jesús Aguirre: (Updated 18 February 2021, 18:49) Speaking to journalists, he pointed out that any easing of mobility restrictions will be done with “great care” and “nothing will even be considered until after Andalucía Day”. These current restrictions were put in place at least until 00.00 hours on Saturday 27 February. But now the regional government has said that the measures will be studied again after the Día de Andalucía (28 February) although this year the holiday is moved to Monday, 1 March.
However, he warned that the ‘British’ variant, which is “much more contagious”, will soon be the cause of the majority of cases in the region and “we must not lower our guard”.
Aguirre said that the strain, first identified in the UK, currently accounts for 41 per cent of cases in Andalucía, “but seeing the speed of growth it has, it will be the majority within a week or ten days”.

Spain announces new target groups for coronavirus vaccination: Spanish health officials on Wednesday defined new priority groups for the coronavirus vaccine.
-Shortly after several regions began inoculating the 80-and-over population, the public health committee of the National Healthcare System said that next in line for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are people between 70 and 79 years of age, who will in turn be followed by the 60-to-69 age bracket.
-This expert committee also decided that the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is being administered to around 5.1 million essential workers (such as teachers and police officers) under 55 years of age, will next target the general population between 45 and 54, as well as any under-60s with pre-existing health conditions that make them especially vulnerable to Covid-19. These medical conditions have not yet been defined, however.
-What is also unclear is exactly when these new priority groups will get their shots, as this depends on the size of the shipments and the speed of administration in a healthcare system whose resources are already stretched thin.
-Different regions of Spain are proceeding at different speeds. For now, seven have begun immunizing the 80-and-over population, while most are still working on the Phase 1 priority groups: residents and workers of care facilities, health personnel and people with need for daily assistance who do not live in a care home. Meanwhile, essential workers under 55 are also getting immunized with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
-Although no specific timelines have been announced, the goal is to vaccinate 80% of seniors 80 and over before the end of March, which means administering two doses to around 2.8 million people. But other groups will likely start getting their first jabs before that process ends, to ensure that there are no breaks in the pace of vaccination.

EU announces list of accepted Covid rapid antigen tests, says results should be in English:
-“Member States agree that Covid-19 test results should be made available in the national language(s) of the country where the test was taken, as well as English,” the committee said. That should simplify matters for people travelling not only within the EU but also between Europe and the UK, which currently requires arriving travellers to show a negative test result in either English, French or Spanish, with translations not accepted.
-The health security committee on Thursday published a list of 16 rapid antigen tests that it said would be mutually recognized in all member states.

UK travelers to Spain offered alternatives to prove Spanish residency: The list of acceptable documents, which have reportedly been communicated to airlines and other operators, is as follows:
-Residence card issued under Article 18.4 of the Withdrawal Agreement (the TIE – Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero)
-Temporary or permanent EU residence certificate (Certificado de Registro de Ciudadanos de la Unión)
-Receipt of application for the TIE (Resguardo de presentación de la solicitud de la tarjeta de residencia)
-Confirmation of the positive outcome of your residence application (Resolución favorable por la que se concede la tarjeta de residencia)
-In the absence of any of the above documents, other documents that credibly evidence your legal residence in Spain before January 1, 2021, are a padrón certificate (issued by your town hall), a work contract, a rental contract, or proof of property purchase
-In the case of students, documentation that demonstrates enrolment in an on-site or in-person course and proof of accommodation
-In addition, travelers must show a valid passport and comply with the other documentation requirements, such as a negative COVID test within 72 hours of arrival. Full article: https://english.elpais.com/spanish_news/2021-02-18/uk-travelers-to-spain-offered-alternatives-to-prove-residency.html
Spanish police find 4 million fake masks: Police found the masks in cardboard boxes on the ground floor and in a warehouse of a hotel in Leganes on the southern outskirts of Madrid. The boxes were ready for transport and marked as containing KN95 and FFP2 masks with a high degree of protection.

Fakebook Resorts To Bully Tactics Against Australia, Faces International Condemnation and Boycotts: The dispute centers on a planned Australian law that would require Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s Google to reach deals to pay news outlets whose links drive traffic to their platforms, or agree on a price through arbitration.
Facebook faced backlash from publishers and politicians on Thursday after blocking news feeds in Australia in a surprise escalation of a dispute with the government over a law to require it to share revenue from news. Facebook wiped out pages from Australian state governments and charities as well as from domestic and international news organisations, three days before the launch of a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination programme.
Though the measure was limited to Australia, European publishers along with British and Canadian politicians described it as an attempt to put pressure on governments that might consider similar measures.
“Facebook’s actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing,” Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote on his own Facebook page. “These actions will only confirm the concerns that an increasing number of countries are expressing about the behaviour of Big Tech companies who think they are bigger than governments and that the rules should not apply to them.”

Tennis News- Serena Williams leaves news conference in tears after defeat in Australian Open semi-final: An emotional Serena Williams left her news conference in tears after facing questions about her future following defeat in the Australian Open semi-final.
The American tennis star, 39, once again came up short in her 11th attempt to move level with Margaret Court’s record haul of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, and it is now a year-and-a-half since she made a final.
Japanese third seed Naomi Osaka, the champion in 2019, overcame a nervous start in front of a limited crowd at the Rod Laver Arena to win 6-3 6-4. Full article: https://news.sky.com/story/serena-williams-leaves-news-conference-in-tears-after-defeat-in-australian-open-semi-final-12221462
