In Japan, it was reported that Madrid was restricted from moving, but as long as you don't go out of the city, you are free to shop and eat out. Due to restrictions on the number of users and shortening of business hours, the number of newly infected people has been flat recently. We are working to prevent the spread of infection without stopping economic activities.
In August, Spain, where the number of infected people is increasing, as in Japan. Even if the social distance is maintained, it is compulsory to wear a mask in public spaces, and with the rapid increase in the number of infected people, preventive measures and regulations are becoming stricter. The other day, I went to a cute town called Chinchon, which is about 45 minutes drive from the city of Madrid. Sometimes it was a weekend, so there were relatively many people, and most cafes were open. The disinfectant solution for the hands was placed in the place where all the cafes could understand, and many people were wearing masks and chatting when not eating or drinking. Although there are few foreign tourists, I often see people visiting from Madrid or taking a leisurely coffee break to enjoy the holiday season.
From June 21, the warning situation declaration was lifted and the restrictions on movement disappeared, and "new everyday life" has begun.
Borders can now come and go between the EU and Schengen areas.
The restrictions on other countries will also be lifted (elimination of quarantine measures, etc.) from July 1.
The Alhambra Palace, the cathedral, the monastery and other facilities are now open.
Disinfectant gels are deployed everywhere, and some have introduced heat measurement equipment.
A staff member will guide you to keep a distance, and a mark will be written on the floor so that you can understand what to do.
The warning statement was lifted on June 21, and we entered a "new everyday" across Spain. Up until now, the easing policy was gradually regaining everyday life, but as soon as it was lifted, it was a sunny day in Madrid with strong sunlight and temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. Interstate movement was also allowed, and people began to move in earnest. After using the subway for a long time, we found corona countermeasures at the foot of the platform and everywhere on the premises. Masks are mandatory for public transport (fines are required) and social distances are also encouraged. Some of the passages inside the station are marked so that they are one-way. There are no restrictions on seats or spaces in the car, but it feels like a certain distance from nature. In the future, each state will take its own corona countermeasures, but finally the declaration of caution has been lifted and there are bright signs.
Currently, all areas of Spain are in Phase 3 except some areas, and movement restrictions, some museums, art museums, guided tours, etc. are permitted, although there is a limit on the number of people. Although there is some suggestion that it will be the last, the warning statement has been extended until June 21st. The current plan is to open the border from July.
I went for a walk to the Ventas Bullring. Although it is rarely included in Japanese tourist routes, it is very popular with tourists from other countries. With its neo-Mudejar architecture, the exterior is very beautiful, and there were a lot of people from morning till night before going into self-restraint.
