PM Pedro Sanchez announces that now " All non essential jobs and services" are to be placed on lockdown as of Monday 30 March to further halt the spread of contagion and ease pressure on the break point health service.
Times ahead will be "more bitter" and tougher but solidarity will pull us through....

The Spanish government has formally declared a state of emergency over the coronavirus, placing the country in lockdown and ordering people to stay at home for the next two weeks unless they have to buy food or medicine or go to work or hospital.
Speaking after a seven-hour cabinet meeting on Saturday evening, the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said “extraordinary decisions” needed to be taken as Spain grappled with a “health, social and economic crisis”.
Spain is the country most affected by the coronavirus in Europe after Italy, and has so far confirmed 6,251 cases and 193 deaths. Italy has already taken similar measures.
Sánchez said the central government would direct the response and that all the local, national and regional police forces would come under the command of the interior ministry. He also said that the army was standing by and ready to help with the emergency response.
The prime minister confirmed that people would be required to stay home and that all non-essential shops would close, along with bars, restaurants, cafes and cinemas.
Supermarkets, small food shops, pharmacies, petrols stations and pet supply shops are among those businesses that will remain open.
He said: “During the state of emergency, people will only be allowed out on to public streets for the following reasons: to buy food, basic or pharmaceutical items; to attend medical centres; to go to and from work; to look after children, older people or those with disabilities or who are especially vulnerable; and to attend financial or insurance offices on force majeure grounds.”
Sánchez acknowledged that the measures needed to tackle the coronavirus would have a “big economic impact” but said the government was committed to mitigating its effects.

In addition. The above reports states "state of emergency". The Spanish reports still only say "state of alarm". As far as I´ve heard on Spanish news.
For information.

But what does this mean in practice? How are "all workers in non-essential activities" defined? Does that mean hairdressers will no longer be able to do home visits to elderly and disabled clients? Will Tabacs close? As usual, the devil will be in the detail, and it would be good to know when that detail will be available.
Kind regards,
Kim
