since March when the pandemic was declared worldwide. The country has already gone through two states of alert to deal with the disease, one that was from March 15 to June 21 and another that started on October 25 to combat the second wave and
waiting for the long-awaited vaccine.
How many days are we quarantined?

second wave
On October 25, the second state of alert began to combat the second wave of the virus. In this second state of alarm, it is the Autonomous Communities that enact containment measures in Spain and measures such as the curfew or the closure of shops and public places.
This new second state of alert lasted for more than six months and it was extended to May 9, totaling 196 days.
What does the alarm status mean?
It is included in Article 116 of the Spanish Constitution and is the mildest applicable in situations of real emergency, with higher degrees of state of emergency and martial law.
