Smoking Banned And Nightclubs Closed In Spain
Nightclubs in Spain are once again being forced to close in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Smoking in public places where social distancing is not possible has also been banned. Bars and restaurants will be forced to close at 1am, and can’t allow new customers to enter after midnight.
The new rules have been rushed through after an emergency meeting between the government and Spain’s local authorities. Minister Salvador Illa says “I announce that we have decided to adopt coordinated actions in public health matters for the first time and these measures have been unanimously accepted”.
