In 2020 there was the curfew because of the pandemic. In 2021 there was no curfew but masks and Covid certificates were required. Having cancelled the New Year celebrations in 2020, Palma town hall didn't actively encourage any the following year.

In 2022 there were no restrictions but there were still no celebrations - official ones anyway. The town hall explanation was that there was no budget for the New Year. As was the case in 2021, people congregated in Plaça Cort regardless. It is the traditional place to see in the New Year and to hear the chimes of the town hall clock - En Figuera.
