Spain to allow outdoor exercise on May 2 if coronavirus cases continue to drop

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Saturday that people would be allowed out to exercise starting May 2 if the number of new coronavirus infections continues to decline.

In an address to the nation, Sanchez said people would be allowed outside for sport or to go for a walk with a person with whom they live if the evolution of the coronavirus pandemic “remains favourable.”

People in Spain have been living under one of Europe’s strictest lockdowns since March 14. They are allowed out only for food, medicine, and essential work.
