Entrepreneurialism consellera Ana Juan said the aim was “to give islanders—whether they’re freelancers or business owners; whether in a group that’s particularly vulnerable or working at a company that has laid off or furloughed staff—a one-stop shop for information on easing measures, government support and any other Covid-related updates”.

Visitors to the site will find up-to-date details about benefits from various levels of government, measures implemented by the Consell and other administrations and unfolding changes to numerous public services. It will also serve as a clearing house for information about the distinct phases of lockdown easing, with a section of the site additionally containing widely accessible graphics-based explanations of the phased de-escalation.

Information on the new section is broken down into breaking news, social assistance, rentals, workers, freelancers, business owners, mobility, culture and more.

Phone support seven days a week from 8.00am to 8.30pm

Since the crisis began, the Consell has maintained an information service at 971 32 10 87 to field inquiries related to the emergency. Now with newly dedicated personnel and expanded hours, the service will be available from Monday to Sunday, 8.00am to 8.30pm. Staff have also begun answering questions about benefits and the multiple phases of the plan to relax confinement restrictions.
