Hospitality sector business owners in the Valencia region will be able to decide whether they want to allow smoking on their outside terraces, as the new regional government has decided to quash any remaining Covid-19 health measures that are not required by the state.
This will bring Valencia into line with all the other regions in Spain, as it was the only one where additional limitations were still in effect, a regional government spokesman explained.
The decision was agreed on Wednesday at a meeting of regional president Carlos Mazón and his councillors for health, Maciano Gómez, and commerce and tourism, Nuria Montes.
The spokesman noted that the Cabinet had already agreed the crisis was over and ended the emergency measures on July 4. The regional government said it is also attending to a demand of the hostelry sector, which was still affected by the resolution of the previous regional health department.
