Madrid has announced new coronavirus restrictions that could include the return of total lockdown in some areas. Antonio Zapatero, the deputy health minister, said zones with the "highest incidence" of the virus would go back into lockdown by the weekend, including restrictions on mobility and the potential "confinement" of citizens in their homes. "We must act as quickly as possible," he said. Spain had one of the strictest lockdowns in Europe, and hospitals in Madrid are again under intense pressure amid a second wave of coronavirus in the country (see graphic below).
