Effective immediately, all Spaniards must stay home except to buy food, medicines, go to work or to the hospital, or for emergencies.
Bars, restaurants, and shops selling anything but food and other staples must shut down. All leisure and sports activities also have to close, including cinemas, theatres, swimming pools, and football grounds.
It is understood that an exact and detailed list will be published on the coming Tuesday so please check the EWN for the full report, above all, take care!
