The Government of Spain has guaranteed that despite the increase in coronavirus outbreaks, the situation "is under control", in response to the restrictions imposed on those arriving from this country in the United Kingdom and Norway and the recommendation of France to avoid Catalonia.

"The Government of Spain considers that the situation is controlled, the outbreaks are localized , have been isolated and controlled," sources from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have indicated.

"Spain is a safe country" , the sources have underlined, adding that in the case of the United Kingdom, Madrid remains "in contact" with London, whose decisions we "respect".

Given the acceleration of infections in Spain, the British Government ordered that from this Sunday those who enter from that country should isolate themselves for two weeks .

Norway also imposed a quarantine, in its case of ten days, on those arriving from Spanish territory, while France advised against visiting Catalonia , a very tourist border region and one of the areas that has experienced the most increase in infections in recent days. .

Several regions in Spain , where at least 280 active outbreaks of Covid-19 are counted and daily recorded cases have tripled in recent days, have implemented measures, such as restrictions on the number of people who can meet or the strengthening of the obligation of the mask, under penalty of fine.

In Catalonia, with almost half of the new cases detected , the authorities asked residents of the Barcelona metropolitan area 10 days ago to stay home except in case of need.

Last Friday, the Catalan government ordered the closure of all discotheques, dance halls and parties in the region, a measure that had already been adopted in Murcia (southeast).

The Government of Spain, which has ruled out that it is a "second wave" of the pandemic, assures that the regions are prepared to face the outbreaks and rules out a new state of alarm , an exceptional regime that allowed a tight confinement of the Spanish from mid-March to June 21.

Spain, one of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic, officially records more than 28,400 deaths and 272,400 infections .
