Spain plans to delay curfew to 1am on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve
Pedro Sánchez's government proposes meetings of up to six people during December festive season
Spanish government proposed meetings of up to six people for Christmas on Tuesday.
The cabinet, led by Pedro Sánchez, also wants to delay the curfew to 1am on December 24 and 31, Christmas' Eve and New Year's Eve, respectively.
If the measure comes into force, in Catalonia it would mean that residents would not be able to leave their homes from 1am to 6am.
Currently, the stay at home order is from 10pm to 6am stay-at-home order, which has been in place since the measure was approved in late October.
Potential contradiction with Catalan reopening plan
As for the cap in social gatherings, the maximum of six people could clash with the Catalan four-phase scheme to progressively reopen social life.
Phase 3 sees an increase of the cap from six to ten, which could be in effect from December 21.
The plans are part of a Spanish government draft for measures to implement for Christmas, which is expected to be discussed in a meeting between the Socialist-led executive and regional health ministries, like Catalonia's.
