Complete List Of Municipal Border Closures. The Junta have announced the latest municipal border closures and restrictions in Malaga Province.
Complete List Of Municipal Border Closures
The Junta de Andalucia has announced the latest municipalities which will close their borders from midnight tonight (into Saturday morning) because they have exceeded 500 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 people. Municipalities which have exceeded 1000 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 people must also close all non-essential businesses.
Following the news that the national government refused to grant regional governments the power to introduce local lockdowns, the Junta have stressed the difference between border closures with non-essential business closures and home confinement. The former are not considered to be lockdowns, and are therefore legal within the mandate provided by the national government.
New Municipal Border Closures
New additions to the list of municipalities which must close their borders for the next 14 days are:
- Alozaina
- Archidona
- Casabermeja
- Cortes de la Frontera
- Humilladero
- Riogordo
- Torremolinos
- Viñuela
