  Spain

  are

  Covid-19 case numbers

  in the global

  high.

• And: In

  Spain

  ,

  too

  , the

  vaccination campaign against Corona is

  sometimes very sluggish.

  their rules

  in the fight to

  contain the coronavirus

  .

• In

  , even the municipalities are completely cordoned off - citizens are only allowed to leave their place of residence for two reasons.

  That also applies to

  Barcelona.

Munich / Barcelona - Different regions and countries, different measures and

corona lockdown rules

.

Several

Spanish regions

(comparable to federal states) are

now taking particularly drastic measures to

contain the coronavirus pandemic again

These tighten the

Covid-19 rules

significantly, but nowhere are tough measures taken than in

Catalonia

with the regional capital

Barcelona

.

Coronavirus pandemic: Catalonia seals off its communities because of Covid-19 - Barcelona among them

Means: In this Comunidad Autónoma (Autonomous Community),

all communities will be cordoned off from Thursday

due to

Corona

, as the regional health minister Alba Vergés announced on Monday in

Barcelona

.

The

residents are then only allowed to leave their respective community (or city) for ten days for a valid reason

- for example to go to the doctor or to work.

The situation is once again very serious in the pandemic.

The head of the Infectious Diseases Department at the Hospital del Mar in

Barcelona

, Robert Güerri, spoke of a "worrying situation" in the metropolis' hospitals.

Coronavirus pandemic: Catalonia is Spain's problem child with regard to the corona numbers

On Sunday evening,

Catalonia reported

1483 new infections within 24 hours, by far the highest absolute value of all Spanish regions.

At the same time, there was a spectacular police operation when hundreds broke up an illegal and multi-day rave party on a deserted site with more than 200 participants.

In Spain, according to surveys by

Johns Hopkins University

(as of January 4, 7:30 p.m.), more than 50,800 people have died in connection with the insidious lung disease.

The vaccination campaign, on the other hand, was slow to start as elsewhere.

So far, only 18 percent of the vaccine doses received have been administered, reported the TV station

RTVE

on Monday, citing the authorities.

Now the hometowns of around

7.6 million people in southeastern Spain are being

cordoned off.
