We all know the effort citizens are making to go back to have a
normal life.
We all appreciate the effort that healthcare professionals, senior care
providers, state security forces, civil servants, farmers, carriers,
drivers, supermarket and grocery store employees, cleaners at
health centres, pharmacists, employees from companies which are
providing us with basic supply like water, light, gas…and many
others are making for us to stay safe at home, away from the danger
of being infected by Covid-19.

We
need
to
make

always
thinking
about
all
the

are
going
to
spend the time with or bump into:

1. Keep social distance, not only along The Way but also in villages or shelters.
2. Wear a mask, either a surgical one or a FFP2 mask with no valve. Use the mask
inside your accommodation, especially in the communal areas.
3. Wear gloves made of latex or nitrile if you are in contact with other pilgrims,
villagers or if you make use of any of the services throughout The Way and always
keep social distance.
4.
It
is
necessary
to
be
very
cautious
with
your
hygiene.
Make
frequent
use
of
soap
and
hydroalcoholic
solution/hand
sanitizer
after
touching
virus-
transmitting
surfaces
especially
if
you
touch
those
which
have
been
proved
to
be
risky
like
metallic
or
plastic surfaces in low temperatures. Avoid touching your face with your hands.
5. Carry your own sleeping bag if at your accommodation there are no disposable
items.
6. Carry enough number of masks and gloves until you get to the next village with a
chemist’s.
7. Avoid sharing personal ítems.
8. Individual responsibility must prevent irresponsible actions like spitting, coughing
recklessly (use a tissue), throwing butts on the ground or throwing disposable
gloves and masks on the ground (use bins instead). Environmental damage is also
a risk for all of us.
9. Be cautious with the cleaning of fountains and seating areas. Drink the water
without touching anything, avoiding the contact with the faucet, pipe, tube or
wherever the water is running out.
1.Keep informed of any possible changes regarding new health measures to be
adopted.
2. Confirm your booking with the shelter, inn or hotel.
3. Follow the protocols and measure of every lodging or place you visit: hygiene,
disinfection, gathering of waste, proper use of toilets and showers and social
distance, among others.
4. When booking accommodation ask if they have the items for personal protection
to check if you have to buy them in advance (mask, hydroalcoholic solution/hand
sanitizer and gloves)
5. Ask what available items they have: sheets, blankets, pillows…in case you have
to carry your own.
6. Ask if you can use communal areas like the kitchen and the dining room. Prioritize
the use of hostelry establishments in the village.
7. Ask if they accept credit/debit card when paying. If they don’t, try to know in
advance the exact amount of money you will have to pay to avoid the exchange of
cash.
