National Curfew In Spain
The curfew now in place restricts movement between 11pm and 6am. Exceptions will be made for people travelling to or from work, and for emergencies.

The Andalusian Regional Government has not yet announced if it plans to keep to the national 11pm curfew start time.
Stay At Home
Coronavirus infection rates in Spain have been rising rapidly. Prime Minister Sanchez said today “The more mobility, the more infections. Let’s stay at home. It is clear that confinements are essential to contain the virus. We are limiting movement on the streets, with some exceptions. The reduction in mobility will help to stop the contagion curve in our country”.
