In addition, the basic health area of Villa del Prado is added to the restrictions. When is it allowed to enter and leave the municipalities? Residents of the municipalities affected by Madrid's restrictions will not be able to leave their area except to go to work, to the doctor, to attend educational activities, to take exams and to care for the elderly, minors or sick people. To allow travel in these exceptions, the authorities will have to first justify it with a certificate.
Citizens returning home can also circulate. Are there fines for non-compliance? The authorities may fine citizens who do not respect the measures when the restriction order is endorsed by the Superior Court of Justice. The fact that this has not occurred yet does not imply that until then the population is exempt from complying with the mandates, since the restrictions have been applied since Friday night. Until the car arrives, police checks will be informative. Depending on the severity of the infraction (determined by the estimated number of infections that irresponsible behavior can cause) , fines can range from 600 to 600,000 euros. Do I have to be locked up at home or can I go out if I live in a confined area? It is allowed to leave home in any area, whether one of the affected areas or not, although health authorities recommend limiting trips to the minimum essential.
