“There is no official date. We are probably seeing that it will be in October because, the rates of infection are going down and we will start gradually to open, but we have not yet made a decision in consensus,” said Martos in an interview with the newspaper Correo.
“We will see how the pandemic develops with one week left or at the end of September we will make a decision,” he added.
Martos said that the Minister of Transport, Carlos Estremadoyro, is looking at the biosafety protocols and will probably be able to finish by the first day of October.
