And, at this stage of lack of understanding, the other great social novelty is that meetings of family and friends are allowed for up to a maximum of 10 people . These can be in homes or terraces.

Economically, shops reopen as long as they are not in shopping malls, which will remain closed to the public. [Consult the BOE publication of May 9]

"
