The ajuntament of Pollensa have posted this on FB .


Quote:
➡️ We have placed new containers on the public roads to avoid displacement to deposit waste.

➡️ We ask you that, while the state of alarm lasts, ALL CONTAINERS OPEN.

➡️ Our staff will leave them open, so we ask you not to close them, so we prevent them from touching at the time of depositing waste.

Thank you very much

News this morning that Spain is outstripping Italy in the race to hitting the amount of cases and deaths earliest (apologies if this is the wrong phrase).

How many cases and deaths have there been in Majorca and Pollensa and PP in particular?

I have always thought that islands such as Majorca (and GB) have the greatest chance of limiting the virus by closing it down completely with no one in our out. Is this the case in Majorca?

I agree that was what we were saying and wondering why GB was still allowing flights in from all over the place. The advantage of being an island is that we could do a complete isolate - but maybe I am being a bit simplistic or whatever the word is

I check on this link every day :- https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesional...9_COVID-19.pdf, it is the official Spanish MOH but only gives figures for the Balearics as a whole, some newspapers publish figures for Mallorca but there are no stats on individual towns.

I read today that rates of infection and deaths do appear to be slowing down, hopefully a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Tonight for the first time we did the 8pm applause in daylight, it was nice to actually see our neighbours .

Sadly this has been posted on the Radio Pollensa page during an interview with the mayor :-

The Spanish Government has decided to extend the lock down until April 26 .

Well - I feel for you all but I also think that if it keeps you all safe then it has to be. I suspect we will be in the same scenario in the UK

I am not complaining, it appears to be getting better so will obviously continue to follow the rules.

Not sure about the UK being in the same scenario, i personally think you will be worse off unless people are prevented from going out for walks and exercise.

I just meant we will have the lockdown extended same as Spain. I haven’t got a clue what will happen in the UK, mainly because the government seem to change their mind frequently on the best way to deal with this. I find that very scary

Although not an avid webcam watcher, since the outbreak I have not seen one person walking by the seafront on the Tammarell's webcam and hardly a vehicle.
Well done to you all in such difficult times and I hope you all stay well.
Keep safe and can't wait to see you all in happier times

It is almost completely deserted, everyone seems to be really following the rules of the lockdown which is fantastic, the sooner we all comply the better! Everything is very, very well organised and the general atmosphere is friendly and cooperative. I think it is actually going to be quite strange when the rules are relaxed a little, it has become second nature for us all to give each other a 'wide berth'....and it seems to be working, the fear will be, will this come back as bad, if not worse, when the rules are relaxed? Although obviously delighted that Mallorca is doing so well I have to admit to being a little concerned that we may be used as a 'test case scenario' as has possibly been suggested. However for the economy and normality in generaal, life needs to resume as much as possible and as quickly as possible, a logistical nightmare for governments around the world. Very difficult times we are all in and I think a 'new normal' of sorts is hopefully around the corner - my hope is that this means we may all become more aware of each other, the world around us and kinder as a result. Sorry, waxing lyrical here...too much time on my hands! Take care all, and yes, it is very quiet!

I have wondered about the people who were demonstrating, with placards last year, saying tourists not welcome, how they feel now they have their wish come true .
