The Spanish Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, and the Vice-President of Spain, Pablo Iglesias, have been the main exponents of the issue that has been taking place in recent days. From the age of 26, children under 14 will be able to go out to the street between 09:00 and 21:00 hours, and take a maximum of an hour of walking. They will have to go within a kilometre of home and always accompanied by an elderly person. Along with the adult, three children under 14 years of age can go to the streets.

Minors will be allowed to go out on foot or running, and they will be able to be accompanied by their own toys. The Spanish Government has called for the necessary safety measures to be complied with, such as the use of the mask, hand washing or distance with other people.

Once the measures have been defined, the smaller ones could start to go out in the street from 26 April, after six weeks of home confinement, the announcement has been the end of the toughest measures of child confinement across Europe. In Spain, more than 8.3 million minors have been affected by the rocket outbreak.

Measures very different from the first

"It was a mistake and we have corrected it. When you criticize someone and the criticisms are reasonable, you have to correct the mistake, and that's what we've done." These are the words of the vicelehendakari, Pablo Iglesias, during today’s press conference.

The communiqués today are not the first steps taken by the Spanish Government to alleviate the confinement of minors in Spain. On Tuesday he authorized very different departures: Children under 14 years of age were allowed to go out in the street with an adult, but only to go to the supermarket, the bank and the pharmacy. Faced with the proposed measures, the Sanchez Government received a wave of criticism from many citizens and from all political opposition. By the avalanche, in four hours the Minister of Health appeared in the Basque Parliament to suggest that she had changed her mind.
