MADRID - Spain has made it compulsory for all citizens, including children over six, to wear masks in public spaces as one of Europe's strictest lockdowns gradually unwinds.
Spain has suffered 27,778 deaths and had 232,037 cases of the COVID-19 disease, according to the latest data, while the tourism-dependent economy is forecast to contract up to 12.4 percent in 2020 due to its virtual paralysis since mid-March. To keep control of the gradual phase-out of restrictions, which vary from region to region, the government is requesting a two-week extension of the state of emergency. The lower house of parliament, where Sanchez needs some opposition support for a majority, was due to vote on that on Wednesday.
