All Schools Closed In Andalucia

The regional government are closing all schools, colleges, and universities in Andalucia from Monday.  The schools will remain closed for at least 14 days, though this period could be extended depending on how the situation develops.

Parent Tina Johnson who has two children at school in Fuengirola says the decision to wait until Monday is strange.  “We were told on Thursday evening that the schools will close on Monday.  Why not right now?  Are children not able to catch the virus on a Friday? It doesn’t make sense.”
