20 May All of Malaga Province goes to Covid Level 1 today (20TH May) the lowest risk level

The whole of Malaga province will be on coronavirus alert level 1 from this Thursday (20 May). And (BONUS):  Tarifa and the Costa de la Luz.

This is fantastic news for us all as it means we have the very lightest of restrictions. Now we can really enjoy the summer season.

Level 1 is the lowest level of coronavirus and it’s a remarkable achievement. Malaga is the only province in Andalucía that is completely at level 1, with a 14 day infection rate of under 50 people in every 100,000.

Non-essential business can reopen and, most importantly, there are no restrictions on beaches and swimming pools, as long as the social distancing between groups can be maintained.
