General measures

Parks and children’s play areas
Guidelines for families
- Consider playgrounds to be a shared space and to be used rationally to make it safe and to avoid congestion.
- Do not access the playgrounds if there are already a significant number of children at that time.
Limit the use time to a shorter period than usual to make it easier for other families to access it without congestion.
Look for alternative recreational activities and games to use in the playground equipment (swings, slides, etc.). For example, playing with sand, playing hide and seek, and so on. - Access the playgrounds closest to your home or school.
- Children need to:
- Practice hand hygiene (with hydroalcoholic gel) before accessing playgrounds and also frequently while using them. (Care must be taken that young children do not put their hands in their mouths after using the hydroalcoholic gel. In children under 2 years of age, the use of wet wipes may be considered as an alternative.)
- Maintain an interpersonal safety distance with children from other coexistence groups to prevent physical contact, especially in access to facilities.
- Make use of the mask compulsorily from the age of 6 included and whenever possible between the ages of 3 and 5.
- Avoid eating and drinking in the play area (you can drink water to ensure hydration outside the play area).
- It is recommended that a single adult accompany the children, to reduce the number of people. As much as possible, relate only to people with whom you share a stable coexistence group. In any case, relate to the minimum number of people outside of these groups, limiting contact time, keeping your distance, and using the mask at all times.
- Do not use benches inside playgrounds to avoid overcrowding.
- Explain to the children the guidelines to avoid physical contact with children who are not part of their stable coexistence group.
Measurements in natural spaces
Measures to control access to natural spaces.
To avoid congestion in the natural space, a special security and mobility device will be in force from the weekend of October 24 in the busiest areas.
This device will act preventively to prevent access to natural spaces in cases where there is already a high influx or the car parks are full. It will also act proactively by reinforcing information to users of natural spaces and identifying and correcting risk behaviors in relation to the contagion of COVID-19.
The planned measures are as follows:
- Reinforcement of information and surveillance
- Reinforcement of preventive surveillance in the areas with the highest influx
- Proactive actions to identify and correct risk behaviors
- Intensification of cleaning and disinfection of equipment: toilets, bins, etc.
- Strengthening access control and car parks
- Closing of accesses to the public in certain more sensitive and problematic points, in agreement with the city councils and respecting the access of the neighbors
- Supervision of the occupancy level of guarded car parks
- Extension of regulated access points, where feasible
- Mobility control of accesses
- Information panels on the roads informing of the level of occupancy of the parks
- Controls at strategic access points (remote) to make closures when car parks are almost full.
- Avoid the occupation of the sidewalks of roads and spaces in unregulated municipalities
- Communication
- Provide real-time information on occupancy levels in natural spaces
- Reinforce safe behavior patterns
The devices will involve the staff of the parks and natural spaces, the Rural Agents, the Red Cross, civil protection volunteers, the Mossos d’Esquadra, local police and other municipal resources.
Recommendations for accessing natural spaces
General recommendations:
- Properly plan trips to the wild and don’t improvise them.
- Avoid moving to high-traffic natural areas.
- Find out about the state of the car parks and access to the busiest natural spaces.
- Don’t move to spaces you don’t know properly.
- Do not park in non-enabled areas. It is an action that can be sanctioned.
- Avoid generating waste and collect all the waste you generate.
- Remember the general safety tips in the wild.
COVID-19 measures:
- Scroll preferably with the coexistence bubble group or the enlarged bubble. Avoid encounters with unusual contacts.
- Meetings and encounters are limited to a maximum of six people, unless they are living together.
- The consumption of food and drinks at meetings in public space is prohibited.
- The mask is mandatory at all times in the public space, also in the case of traveling with people in your immediate environment (bubble).
- Respect safe distances from other groups of people.
- In sports, respect and increase distances as much as possible with other people or groups of people.
- If you play group sports, it is limited to a maximum of six people and to avoid physical contact.
