The City Council of Dénia has decided to move the fruit and vegetable market that is held in the city on Fridays to La Vía street to guarantee the hygiene and safety conditions established by the Ministry of Health during the state of alarm caused by COVID- 19 and that it was unfeasible to meet at its usual location on Calle Magallanes.
The market will be installed on Calle La Vía, in the section between Calle Cándida Carbonell (Toy Museum) and Diana Street, from this Friday, May 8, at their usual hours. There will be a total of 39 stalls, which will keep the distances established in the resolution of the Ministry. That is, there will be 6 meters of distance between the two rows of posts; 2,5 meters between the sides of each stop; Sellers of the same position will keep 2 meters of separation between them and 2 meters of separation will also be left between the clientele, who will not be able to touch the gender, and the position.
The Department of Markets, in collaboration with the Local Police, has designed a device to control market access to monitor the influx to avoid crowds.
The entrance will be through the Museu dels Joguets and the exit through Diana street. Users will only be able to move in one direction, which will be marked on the ground with road paint. In addition, two emergency exits will be enabled, bounded by fences, the intersection of La Vía with Carlos Street Sentí.
To carry out these surveillance and control tasks, a local police patrol will be assigned; City Hall custodians, who will be located at the entrance and will be in charge of keeping the count of people and providing the public with hydroalcoholic gel and the necessary protection elements; and a game of 8 Civil Protection volunteers who will be stationed at the access through Cándida Carbonell, the Diana street exit, the two emergency exits and will also walk inside the market.
