Basic features of the different downscaling phases are shown on the maps and graphs.
{{ANETextoDestacado|titulo=DOWNSCALING PHASES|contenido=<u>Phase 0 or getting prepared for downscaling.</u> Common easing measures for the whole country were accepted, allowing for out-of-home mobility mainly in the private sphere, as well as implementing measures on activities with little or no risk of infection provided that security instructions were followed. All public places were provided with visual signs and protective measures during this phase. Some small islands ([Formentera in the Balearic Islands (Illes Balears) and La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa in the Canary Islands(Canarias) ] were allowed to upgrade to phase 1 during this period taking into account that hardly any new COVID-19 cases were being registeredin these territories.
<u>Phase 2 or intermediate phase.</u> Partial opening of other activities was allowed. Restaurants could be open, yet limited to one third of capacity, only for table service (standing at the bar was not allowed) and with tables lying well apart from each other. Schools were opened, yet only for three purposes, i.e. to carry out backup activities, to ensure that children under the age of six could attend school if both parents had to work outside their homes, and to hold the Spanish pre-university examsExams for Admission in University. Hunting and sport fishing were resumed. Cinemas, theatres and auditoria were opened again yet seats were to be assigned beforehand. Visits to monuments, conference halls, cultural events and exhibitions were reinstated, yet only with a third of the usual capacity if inside, and 400 attendees seated if outside. Places of worship were to limit their capacity to 50%.
<u>Phase 3 or advanced phase.</u> General mobility was allowed. However, the use of masks was recommended in public transports and on the street. Shops, restaurants and bars were to limit their capacity to 50% and social distancing of at least two metres was to be respected.
<u>New normal life.</u> This meant the end of social and economic restrictions. However, epidemiological surveillance, self-protection and enhanced capacity of the National Health System were kept.
At least two weeks were to be spent in each phase, and upgrading from one phase to the next depended on specific indicators .
