Spain on Sunday declared a nationwide state of emergency on the second time .The country also ordered an overnight curfew across the country to stem a resurgence in coronavirus infections, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said.Mr Sanchez told the nation in a televised address that the extraordinary measure would begin on Sunday night.He said his government was using the state of emergency to impose a nationwide curfew between 11pm and 6am, except in the Canary Islands.
Spain’s 19 regional leaders will have the authority to set different hours for the lockdown as long as they are stricter, close regional borders to travel and limit gatherings to six people who do not live together, Mr Sanchez said.Mr Sanchez said he would ask Parliament this week to extend the state of emergency for six months, until May.
The state of emergency gives the government extraordinary powers, including to temporarily restrict basic freedom guaranteed in Spain’s constitution, such as the right to movement.Spain’s government has already declared two state of emergencies during the pandemic.
