Sumo the Micky Quinn You mentioned about refuges arriving before, looks like it's happening and bringing the virus with them Rescued migrant confirmed as corona virus carrier, one other suspected on Fuerteventura - The Canary - News, Views & Sunshine

I saw this in Canarias7, the guy was repeatedly asked to put a mask on (like you say, it's the law now). He refused again and again so the bus driver called the police and they were waiting for him at Las Palmas bus Station. This will put tourists off as they think this is the treatment they...

Had the same when I went to Arguineguin to get a new battery for the Jeep, people all over the place and that's where the town hall is. Went to San Fernando a couple of days ago to get my laminator repaired by the main Police Station down south and again rammed. Yet in PR people are still...

I read about them arriving in GC but they were taken away like in Fuerteventura. The whole travelling and flight thing is confusing, like you say Binter are increasing numbers but the news says to go to second homes, work or to check on family etc but people are flying to Tenerife to get...

The 2 hour contracts are popular here also, owners basically say accept it or someone else will. Seems our season is longer than yours then (i do double the amount of work in Scandie season as i have to advertise Scandie football and the Handball plus all the Scandie shows). Main problem this...

Yes, approx 300€ per month per member of staff, he must be pulling his hair out. I think most out here done ERTE as i don't think anyone expected this to go on so long I only know of 1 person who was sacked with the promise of having his job back after this (he asked to be sacked as he thought...

Wow, just such good figures :) How do the locals feel about tourists coming back. Over here we can't wait as we really need to get businesses running again and people are prepared to take the risk. Did ERTE payments go well or a complete mess like over here?

Don't be silly, Boris said you will have zero cases by the end of June :banghead:

It's July 1st, confirmed date. No 14 day quarantine for people from the UK and they are in talks with the UK to cancel the 14 day quarantine upon return to the UK. How many cases do you still have your way, we have 1 person left in hospital now, no new cases or deaths.

Well i've tried loads, the locals are mainly british/Irish and rather than convert them they all try to convert me to Forest, Man Utd, etc. Loads of Cov living out here but they all say "don't give a crap, if we did we would still live there. Oh well, i'm the lone Sky Blue Man and always will be...

deeper than mine unfortunately :(

They have just released a list of people who will get EMERGENCY payments (now we are about to start working again), (these are the 1st in the queue, more to come). It's a dam joke. At least in the UK you got your payments. It's not even a long list for a country.

Very heavily mate, the north (Las Palmas) is like London, all the office jobs etc.. down in the South it's almost all tourism. Without it we are f@#+%d. It's why people are prepared to gamble with tourism, with tourists we can slowly build again and where i am they have spent millions on new...

I think so too mate, let's hope we are both wrong :)

Let's hope so mate, until we have tourists i'm not at all worried as the virus has basically died here. The lockdown was so heavily enforced and so strict that people were to scared to go out, no money coming in from the government besides promises and minimum 600€ fines for 1st offences. Maybe...

Just want to thank everyone for the help i got on here when i had my little breakdown, it was you lot the Sky Blues Family that helped me through this. Can't ever thank you all enough XXXX

It's being done in stages mate, so at the moment Dicey Reilly's The Royal Oak etc (start of the centre) are almost demolished but the others are open until they are refurbished and then they will do the next area and so on, so only a few bars/Restaurants will be closed at the same time.

Thanks mate, yes there will be. 50% capacity on the terraces and 30% inside and tables need to be 2 metres apart but whilst no tourists that's not a problem and we can sit at the same table even if not the same household. Need to wear a mask on the way there if you can't guarantee 2m distance...

Been a really good couple of days out here for news. Confirmed that the bars can open in all the Commercial Centres from Monday, which almost all are in Commercial Centres and a few hours ago the president confirmed that from 1st July we are open to tourists again :) In the few hours since it...

ove you I don't have a quid to go on with.Who cares, well i do. Love you Julie
