The Spanish government confirmed on Sunday that the health situation in the country is "under control" despite the high number of new infections with the Corona virus, in response to the decisions of countries that announced restrictions on travelers coming from Spain.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that "the Spanish government considers that the situation is under control and that the outposts have been identified, isolated and controlled."
The ministry added that "Spain is a safe country", noting that Spain is "in contact" with London regarding imposing a two-week quarantine and that it "respects" its decisions.
According to the latest official reports, the path of the epidemic is on the rise in Spain, with about a thousand cases recorded on Thursday and Friday.
The number of registered cases of the population increased threefold in two weeks, while the authorities closely monitored more than 280 outbreaks of the virus.
The Ministry of Health is particularly concerned about the situation in Aragon and Catalonia.
The regional authorities called on Barcelona residents to adhere to the homes. Friday also decided to close down nightclubs and bars that are hotbeds of infection.
In this context, most regions have tightened the measures related to the wearing of the muzzle, as it has required that it be permanently placed on the street under penalty of fine.
Some also imposed restrictions at the local level, such as limiting the number of people in gatherings or preventing visits to homes for the elderly.
The central government, which confirms that the issue is not related to a "second wave", considered that the regions have sufficient tools to control the epidemic and exclude the possibility of imposing a new state of alert, which is an exceptional measure that made it possible to impose a very strict closure in mid-March, and it was completely lifted in June 21.
Spain is one of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic, with more than 28,400 deaths and 272,400 injuries recorded.
