Unlocking measures announced by Chief Minister:

Where the rules of social distancing cannot be observed, masks will have to be worn by staff members in retail outlets.

Retail outlets will have to provide sanitising gels at places of access and egress to shops.

Shops will only be able to open, initially from 1000hrs until 1730hrs.

Estate Agents

Offices and premises operated as Estate Agents will have to ensure social distancing but can also re-open as from the 2nd May.

When showing properties, social distancing must be observed by Estate Agents also and it is advisable that, inside properties, face masks should be worn.

Construction Sites

Construction sites have remained open in the United Kingdom and Spain (subject to a hiatus of some weeks) whilst in Gibraltar they have been largely closed.

Only some sites will have remained opened and these have required a permit from the Chief Technical Officer in order to operate.

At the moment, Gibraltar is the only, or one of the only, European jurisdictions where construction remains closed.

More construction sites will be able to re-open with a permit from the Chief Technical Officer as from Monday 4th May.

These will be sites that are self-contained.

Operation of construction sites will be subject to a permit that will provide very strict controls about access and operation.

Construction workers will have to remain on site and move from their homes (or, where, relevant, from their point of entry in Gibraltar) to the site.

Construction workers will not be permitted to leave construction sites during their working hours.

Deliveries required for the operation of construction sites will have to be arranged with those supplying materials so that they can be delivered by employees who will not be exposed to those working on site.

Interaction on construction sites will have to be – insofar as possible – in keeping also with the rules of social distancing.

Where the rules of social distancing cannot be observed, masks will have to be worn even if work is being carried out in the open air.

Additionally, access to all construction sites by employees will require a control of the temperature of all employees on a daily basis.

Any employee who registers a high temperature will have to be tested and will have to self-isolate until test results are available.
