The regional government of Madrid announced Wednesday that it was relaxing the coronavirus curfew, despite having one of Spain’s highest infection rates.
Nearly one in every 200 Madrid residents has been infected by the virus during the last two weeks. The only part of Spain with a worse infection rate is the small African outpost of Melilla.
