Pressure grows in Spain for Sánchez to impose new measures

In this context, the regions of Castilla y León, Navarra, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Galicia and the Basque Country will propose to Sánchez at the Conference of Presidents on Wednesday to return to the mandatory use of the mask outdoors to try stop the increase in infections.

Also, on Monday Catalonia became the first region to impose new restrictions as of Thursday: a curfew from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., 50% capacity in restaurants and a limit of 10 people for all kinds of social gatherings.

“It is necessary to reduce interaction and mobility, and that is why we are working to implement the curfew in the next few days,” said the spokeswoman for the Catalan Government, Patricia Plaja, announcing the measures against the increase in infections, with a Omicron variant that went from 5 to 47% of new cases in one week.

However, the position on what measures to take is divided in Spain.

The governors of Asturias, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Extremadura, Madrid and Murcia maintain a skeptical position regarding the implementation of new measures, according to the Europa Press news agency.

For their part, the regions of Andalusia, Aragon, Murcia and Catalonia also ask the Government to launch a Covid Fund by 2022.
