Corona deaths rise in Spain.. and the government is considering closing the country

 

In light of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in Europe, Spain announced the registration of 70 deaths of the novel coronavirus, in conjunction with the government's willingness to "close the country."

The Spanish authorities announced the registration of 70 new deaths, bringing the number of deaths to 190, in conjunction with the government's willingness to "close" the country.

A draft official document stated that the Spanish government intends to impose a closure on all of the country's 47 million people, starting next Monday, as part of a 15-day emergency to combat the coronavirus.

The draft showed that the government would require citizens to abide by their homes and not go out except to buy food and medicine, or go to hospitals or work, or other emergency matters.

The draft indicated that all public transportation in Spain would be reduced, and that the authorities would require airlines, trains, buses, and ships to cut their services by almost half, so that no plane, train, bus, or other means of transportation could carry more than a third of its entire cargo.

But the draft decree does not expect the country's borders to be closed, according to Reuters.

Companies will be required to allow their employees to work remotely, and judicial procedures will be suspended.

Under the 15-day state of emergency, the Spanish Ministry of Interior will control all police forces, including local and regional forces.

The draft says that the process of closing the country will take effect from eight in the morning (0700 GMT) on Monday, while all other measures will take effect immediately after the decree is published in the Official Gazette.
