From today, customers will have to prove that they are fully vaccinated to get inside bars, restaurants and other leisure areas and events.
The Ministry of Health has stressed that anyone who has not had their jabs can go to vaccination points between 08:00-19:30 without an appointment.
The Vacubús will ba at the FAN Shopping Centre in Palma from December 7-9.
On Friday, Health Minister, Patricia Gómez issued a fresh appeal for people to get vaccinated when she reported on the evolution of the pandemic and the measures being taken to curb the 6th wave.
She stressed that the pressure on hospitals has not increased despite the huge increase in Covid cases.
"The pandemic is progressing," she said. “The number of active cases has increased by 44% in the last week and the number of patients hospitalised with coronavirus has increased by 19%.”
The general situation in Intensive Care Units in the Balearic Islands is low risk, except for Mateu Orfila Hospital in Minorca where Covid patients occupy 5 out of every 7 beds and scheduled surgeries have been suspended.
With infections soaring once again, an extra 30 Army personnel have been drafted in to help at the tracking centre.

Lambs to the slaughter table
As the efficacy of the vaccine wears out it stands to reason there will be more cases.
How can you be eligible for a covid pass if you have only has 1 dose? Christmas festivities will have finished and we will be well into January before anybody taking the 1st shot is classed as fully vaccinated
Before I give into the bullying and blackmail by the government and get vaccinated I need to know how many of the new cases of covid are vaccinated? I don't wish to be vaccinated if the vaccine is not of what I deem a sufficient level of efficacy. I'll only have it done to facilitate travel to the uk but having looked at their entry rules they are more or less the same for the vaccinated and unvaccinated. It's just a question, surely the answer is simple. It's strange that 20% of the unvaccinated are fueling a 40+% rise in cases, soon the maths will not add up.
