National Government

As of March 14, residents were asked to stay at home for 15 days unless they need to go to – buy food, buy other essentials, chemist, doctors, work (where they must maintain a distance of one metre from other colleagues), care for elderly, young and vulnerable, bank, insurance companies, get petrol or walk the dog.

The Spanish residents return here from abroad and British visitors can come here to their second home too but once here they must obey the same rules. In a few days, there will be a 50 per cent reduction in air travel/availability.

No schools and educational establishments will open but online and distance learning can continue.

Workers can go to another town/city if that’s where they work but must go straight there and straight back, no visiting friends there after work.

All Retailers will be closed except for – food, drinks, essentials, opticians, newsagents, gas suppliers, tobacconists, hairdressers, dry cleaners, IT equipment, telecoms, pet animal food, Internet businesses – ALL OTHERS WILL BE SUSPENDED.

No drinking, eating where food/drink bought in house, no museums, no libraries, no sports and hobby centres, no hotels and restaurants though they can do home delivery.

Religious and civil ceremonies can continue if they comply with a recommended distance of two metres between attendees.

All health workers, police, army, public and private bodies are at disposal of Sanidad Pública.

Spain is looking to mitigate and compensate those losses, albeit temporary, to companies, employees and self-employed which will be advised at a later date.
