"The program is ... We go shopping at Perthus, then we go to La Jonquera, the same for shopping, and then we go back!" Many French people crossed the Franco-Spanish border on Sunday a few hours after it reopened.

Spain lifted the state of alert on Sunday and reopened all of its borders except that with Portugal. The Spanish can now move around the country, but Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez reminded the population that she remained vulnerable and that the virus could return.
