We have received this notice from the UK Consular Office from the Spanish government. While thankfully, both new cases and deaths in Spain from coronavirus is rapidly decreasing, it is vital that people continue to act sensibly and wear masks as follows…

From May 21, the use of face masks will be obligatory to anyone over the age of 6 years old in all public spaces in Spain, where it is not possible to maintain social distancing of 2 metres. Face masks must cover the nose and mouth. Sanctions may be imposed if you do not comply.

Those with respiratory problems or those unable to wear a mask due to other health conditions or disabilities are exempt from this rule.

While not mandatory, the use of face masks on children between three and five years of age is recommended.
