The alert state ended on May 9 after months of restrictions, though some controls remain in place.
From mid-March onward, Spain faced the coronavirus crisis, impacting sports, daily life, and the entire nation as it endured nearly a hundred days of quarantine and two states of alert to curb the virus’s spread.
In goal We explain how long the quarantine persisted and what followed.
WHAT IS THE END DATE OF QUARANTINE
The initial quarantine was slated to end on June 21, with certain cities allowed to declare the state of alert as early as June 8 if criteria were met. In short, Spain experienced almost four months without a continuous state of alert, though each autonomous community set its own criteria, targets, and rules aligned with the national framework.
Nonetheless, a second wave prompted a new state of alert beginning October 25 and extended until May 9, accompanied by measures such as curfews, perimeter closures of municipalities and autonomous communities, and restrictions on public venues and establishments. (attribution: Goal)
HOW MANY DAYS WERE PEOPLE QUARANTINED IN SPAIN?
To address the rising COVID-19 cases during the 2020 pandemic, the Spanish government convened an extraordinary session on Saturday, March 14, 2020, and declared the first alarm condition, triggering a national quarantine. The measure, taking effect at noon on Sunday, March 15, functioned as a key emergency step to reduce contagion. The public question that lingered was how long the quarantine would last, and the answer was about 99 days. (attribution: Goal)
The second alarm condition began on October 25 to tackle the second wave. Under this second state of alarm, autonomous communities assumed responsibility for implementing containment measures, including curfews and the closure of shops and public spaces. (attribution: Goal)
