A state of emergency has been introduced throughout Spain as a measure to counter the spread of the coronavirus.
Initially, the mayor will act for 15 days, however, if the country's parliament supports the government's proposal, this regime can be extended for six months.
Thus, the Spanish authorities have the right to introduce a curfew from 23:00 p.m. to 06:00 a.m., restrictions on social contacts, and limited movement at the local level.
The exception is really only for the Canary Islands — it is necessary to support the tourism industry, and the indicators of the incidence of COVID-19 in this region of Spain are not as large-scale as in other regions of the country.
The state of emergency due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation has been declared in Spain for the second time in the current hour. It was introduced for the first time on March 14, but tougher measures were in effect then.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic in Spain, more than 1,1 million cases of infection, almost 35 thousand patients died.
