Spain allows children to take walks, as the spread of the virus slows

The Minister of Health in Spain Salvador Illa has confirmed this on Tuesday evening, amid growing criticism that government restrictions unjustly penalise children.

This change came hours after the government first announced that children who are forbidden to leave their homes in whatever circumstances will be allowed to accompany their parents when they go out to buy food or medicine.

This has prompted sharp criticism on social networks, where it also called on children to be allowed out to play. In fact, protests were staged throughout Madrid on balconys of pots and pans.

This is a government that listens and next weekend I will issue an order that allows children under the age of 14 to take walks from Sunday, April 26,”, the minister of health said at a news conference.

He is expected to give details about when and where the children can take walks over the coming days, the Kosovo Clan broadcasts.

Although some businesses have been allowed to reopen last week, Spain continues to remain one of Europe's countries with the most severe blocking measures where millions of people are locked up in their homes and are not allowed out or exercise.

The decline of infections has prompted optimism among officials, but the health minister has said the country is not ready for easing deadlock measures.

The figures of the last 24 hours have increased the death to 21.282 and the affected to 204,178 ʹ a 2 percent increase. The 399 deaths registered Monday is the lowest daily figure recorded since 22 March.
