  • Q & A. The 'curfew', a term without legal background to further limit mobility

  • Madrid.Madrid assures that "it is studying" and "it would not see badly" that the central Government applied a 'curfew' in all Spain

"Very tough weeks are coming."

The coronavirus winter is here.

The Government has raised the tone today on the advance of the pandemic.

"The second wave is no longer a threat, it is a reality throughout Europe", said this Wednesday in Moncloa the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa.

Although there are differences between territories, he acknowledges, the situation "is worrying."

"The virus does not travel alone", therefore, Illa stressed, we must "reduce mobility and contacts with everyone's effort."

"You have to be on your guard."

The Ministry is preparing a guide for joint actions for all of Spain.

"The government does not intend to replace the communities but it does intend to coordinate them."

On Thursday the minister meets the Interterritorial Health Committee, which brings together all the regional councilors.

And in that forum, Illa has admitted, the possibility of a curfew, which is already being applied in France, will be evaluated.

"We are going to analyze it", Illa said in Moncloa, about this measure of control of mobility from certain hours and that it would hang on a general state of alarm for all of Spain.

Without ruling it out, the minister has also left the final decision that there is a great agreement since the Government would need to approve possible extensions of the state of general alarm in Congress.

This morning the Community of Madrid has assured that "it would not see badly" that a curfew be decreed to restrict mobility and "is studying" to raise it to the central government.

This has been pointed out by the Minister of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, this Tuesday, who added that in any case this decision would have to be made by the Executive of Pedro Sánchez due to legal coverage and that it would not apply only in Madrid but throughout Spain .
