The regional government of the Spanish capital Madrid ordered a lockdown from Monday in some of the poorer areas of the city and its outskirts that are home to about 850,000 people, after a surge in coronavirus infections there, according to Reuters.
Regional leader Isabel Diaz Ayuso said on Friday movement between and within areas in six badly affected districts would be restricted, but people would not be stopped from going to work in the hardest-hit region in Spain.
At over 620,000, Spain has had the highest number of coronavirus cases in Western Europe.
