FINAL updates: On 18 June, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that face masks will no longer be compulsory outdoors in Spain from 26 June onwards.

Spain’s Health Ministry has also backtracked on mandatory common rules for nightlife, bars and restaurants across Spain during the de-escalation of restrictions, and each region will now be responsible for imposing its own measures, as required. There will be ‘recommendations’ from the central health ministry but not mandatory rules. Since 14 August 2020, Spain had imposed strict new measures on nightlife across the whole country.

The State of Alarm that had been in place in Spain since 25 October 2020 finally ended from midnight on Saturday 8 May. Its purpose was to enable the regional governments the legal requirements to impose and enforce nighttime curfews and other specific restrictions, in order to combat the spread of Coronavirus.
