ASSAP informs you of all the measures (updated on 21/12/2020).

What measures will be taken in Andorra? (Measures from December 24 to January 6)

  • Every citizen of Andorra will be able to take two antigen tests before family gatherings (if the test is positive, they will have to contact the Health Service).
  • Family gatherings may not exceed the number of 10 people (in private places or restaurants) and we can only meet with our relatives twice (24th at night, 25th and 26th at noon, 31st at night, January 1st and 6th at noon).
  • On other days, only 4 people may meet at a table unless the household size is larger.
  • In restaurants, it is mandatory to maintain a safe distance between tables, keep the mask on until the moment of consumption and after meals.
  • Restaurants open from 12 noon to 4 pm and from 7 pm to midnight (home delivery is allowed). Individual registration of customers will be carried out. On the 24th and 31st, closing hours will be extended until 1 am.
  • Bars can provide table service between 7am and 7pm uninterruptedly outside. Inside, they must stop service to ventilate twice: between 12pm and 1pm and between 3pm and 4pm. The maximum number of people per table is 2 inside and 4 outside, except for cohabiting households. Individual registration of customers will be made and the separation between chairs must be at least 1.5m. Home delivery can be ordered at all time slots.
