New coronavirus restrictions were to take effect in Madrid on Saturday since the Spanish authorities weighed declaring a national state of emergency to allow curfews to be imposed. Just days after Spain registered more than one million virus instances, the regions — responsible for managing public health — have heaped pressure on the authorities to give them legal right to impose tighter constraints.
In practice, that would involve the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez declaring a national state of emergency that would enable the areas to impose a curfew — a measure increasingly applied across Europe.
So far, nine of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions have formally requested such a measure, with the authorities expected to decide at an extraordinary meeting on Sunday.
Even though the government can impose an emergency for up to a fortnight, it would require parliamentary approval to expand it.
Spain used the forces in spring to enforce among the world’s tightest lockdowns, and a similar measure has been in force in Madrid for the past fortnight — but only to impose movement restrictions on the capital and various neighboring towns.
That step draws to a close at 4:47 pm (1447 GMT) on Saturday when new constraints drawn up by the regional governments will come into force.
Central to the new rules is a ban on all parties, in private and public, of people who don’t live in the same household between midnight and 6:00 am.
Bars and restaurants must now close at midnight, compared with 11:00 pm under the state of emergency, and their indoor seating capacity will remain fixed at 50 percent.
The Castilla and Leon region announced its curfew without waiting for a government statement, banning movement between 10:00 pm and 6:00 am, with comparable measures planned in the eastern region of Valencia and the southern city of Granada.
On Wednesday, Spain became the sixth nation in the world to pass a million confirmed cases and the first inside the European Union, though on Friday Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the”real number” was more than three times higher.
The latest figures show the virus has claimed nearly 35,000 lives in Spain and infected 1,046,132 people, although antibody tests indicate a figure of more than three million.
