Among the most affected cities is the capital Madrid, where new partial confinements occurred on September 21 due to the new increase in cases (VIDEO). The measures include entry and exit controls, 50% capacity for bars and restaurants and closed parks. These are areas with an incidence rate of more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, three times the national average, which is already the highest in Europe. The restrictions, applied in certain neighborhoods of the city, are a measure that many consider ineffective, given the level of spread of infections throughout the city. In Carabanchel and other neighborhoods, hundreds of people have protested in recent days, against a measure that they consider late and discriminatory, because the poorest areas are returning to confinement, which are also the ones that have the greatest pressure on clinics and hospitals. Since the measures came into force, another 16 areas have reached the same incidence of the virus and now the regional government does not rule out new restrictions for the entire city.

Despite the increase in victims and cases of coronavirus and the imposition of selective closures, Spain has decided to reduce the quarantine for those who have been in close contact with an infected person from 14 to 10 days. Instead, nothing changes for those who test positive for Covid-19. For the positives, explained the Spanish Ministry of Health in a statement, the isolation period is maintained from 10 to 14 days depending on whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic and depending on the regions in which they are located they can decide autonomously in this area . Austria and Slovenia also reduced the quarantine to 10 days, as did Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Portugal and Croatia are considering the possibility of reducing it. France and Belgium took it to 7 days.
