3 - 3.30pm I've heard, maybe the first part's the HoC and the 5pm on telly. Won't be good news; we're stuffed for some time yet. Just hope I can get to watch my football team, I have a ticket for the 5th Dec.

Ah, yeah you're right, 3.30 it is, thanks for pointing that out, I would have missed it!

I reckon they are going to allow fans back soon, 1000 max or something like that, great if you are a small club averaging 2000 fans, not so great if you are Man Utd with a 77k capacity!

Boris going to announce the new rules today at 5pm, if my area gets put into a tier where pubs can open but must serve substantial meals, does that mean you have to order food? Or does the pub just have to have a menu? Is it a requirement to be allowed to open to serve food? or is it down to the customer?

I'm sure this will all be made crystal clear during the announcement (ahem)

You have to order food in order to be served alcohol or even soft drink. We had a few weeks of it here in the NW. You could’nt even nip to the pub with the dog for a quick 3 pints

If it's your local pub and you would be a regular customer they will just leave the menu with you and if the meal police come in you are waiting to order and show the police the menu and what you are getting..

You won't be staying long anyway and if like me you like a pint on way home from work or after dinner they won't expect you to want food.. and it's also an excuse to refuse certain people who might not stick to the rules...
 
pub by ours had a makeshift kitchen in the disabled toilet and were knocking out basic meals. They werent asking many questions about 6 grown men (who didnt look like they live together) to a table either. Absolutely heaving everyday...

3.30 HoC, 7pm on TV tonight, and that max capacity for games in tier 1 will be 4000 (or around that figure) announced on the news right now. No fans at all in tier 3; not even non-league games.

And if all the pubs were open with distancing, everyone who wanted to go could do safely without congregating around those that are open.
 
here's another update for spain and for the balearics and ibiza especially.

as of today, people arriving on international flights (or ferries that originated outside of spain) have to show a negative PCR covid test which was made 72hrs or less before departure in the country of origin. important detail: the text of the test has to be either in spanish or in english - other languages are NOT accepted currently. if you fail to bring a test and they check you, an antigen rapid test will be made at the airport. this won't be free though - you'll have to pay a penalty fee (details to follow, I think in the first few days they might not fine you for it). I also heard that currently they don't check everybody, but use an aleatoric system.

currently, people travelling from the mainland to the balearics (either via domestic flight or ferry) don't have to bring a test - but this is something the balearic government wants to change and thus might change over the course of the next months. also, for next summer,the balearic govt wants to pay for the antigen tests on arrival so that you don't get fined if you arrive without a negative PCR test. mind, this is still half a year away and if the good vaccine news continue, there's hoping the vulnerable will be immunized until then and if so, the entire testing strategy might change again.

the corona situation on the balearics is currently stable and improving slowly but steadily. the fourteen day incidence per 100k people has now gone down to 200 while lots of places on the mainland are still on double that figure. but overall, the situation in the entire country is getting better.

for those interested in detail numbers, follow these two guys on twitter for balearics and ibiza numbers: @fcotienda and @druizaguilera. they both produce daily stats. and for spain in general, check this page https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/situacionActual.htm , further below, the second link under 'resumen de la situación, called 'actualización...' gets updated daily mon-fri at around 7pm CET and gives lots of detail numbers for the country and the autonomías.
