The reopening of the Ibiza’s nightclubs, scheduled from 8th October, marks the return to “normality” in Ibiza,with the lifting of most covid prevention restrictions, with some exceptions. The Balearic Minister for Health, Patricia Gomez, announced yesterday in Ibiza that nightclubs will be allowed to hold up to 75% of their capacity, with the requirement that customers must be seated when drinking and with a separation of one and a half metres between chairs.
These leisure establishments may close their doors at 5am, one hour earlier than the time stipulated in municipal bylaws. Dancing is also permitted with masks, and on the condition that there is one person for every two square metres of floor space in the designated area, in order to avoid crowds.
Admission with covid passport pending TSJB ruling
The Balearic Government has asked the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJB) for authorisation to allow only people with covid passports (with the full vaccination schedule) to enter nightclubs, as requested by the sector itself.
In the event that the Balearic court does not give the green light to this request, at next Monday’s meeting of the Consell de Govern other, more restrictive, measures will be decided for the opening of these premises. Thus, nightclubs may open after two lean summer seasons regardless, but with varying measures depending on whether the covid passport is allowed as a prerequisite for entry.
