What is happening?
Given the surge in the number of cases of COVID-19, the Spanish government has declared a state of emergency so that Spain's regional governments can adopt the necessary measures for containing the pandemic. With the infection rate now improving in Catalonia, the Catalan government is implementing a plan to gradually lift restrictions as from 23 November.
Public cooperation is crucial for halting the spread of the virus. Everyone must take precautions and follow the safety measures at all times.
