Tourists welcome in Spain ‘as soon as possible’, with lockdown ‘lifted in June’

Holidaymakers will be welcomed back to Spain “as soon as possible”, but only when safe to do so, the country’s foreign minister has said. Spain, like the UK, was among the European countries worst affected by the coronavirus outbreak, and introduced lockdown measures on March 14, more than a week ahead of the UK. It has now begun lifting those restrictions in various regions, with plans to end lockdown next month.
