April

Governmental response

On 9 March, Fernando Simón, who is in charge of medical emergencies in Madrid, stated that "Spain will only have a handful of cases".^[299] The same day, the Government of the Community of Madrid (the executive body of the region with the highest number of cases as of that date) approved extraordinary measures. These measures included the cancellation (to be enforced from 11 March onwards) of all in-person classes in the Autonomous community of Madrid at all educational levels for an initial period of 15 days, until 26 March, encouraging online lessons instead if possible.^[300][301] On the same day the Basque Government announced the same measure would be enforced in the municipality of Vitoria-Gasteiz from 10 March onwards.^[302]

On 10 March 2020 the Government of Spain decreed the immediate cancellation of all direct flights from Italy to Spain until 25 March.^[303] On 10 March the Government of La Rioja approved the same measures as the Madrid region vis-à-vis the cancellation of classes, to be enforced from 11 March onwards too.^[304] On 12 March, the Catalan autonomous government quarantined four Catalan municipalities—Igualada, Vilanova del Cami, Santa Margarida de Montbui and Odena.^[305]

On 13 March 2020 the Government of the Community of Madrid decreed the shutting down of bars, restaurants and "non-alimentary" shops (only allowing the opening of supermarkets and chemist's shops).^[306]

Also on 13 March, the Government of Spain announced the state of alarm across all the country would be decreed on the next day by the Council of Ministers. Thus, on 14 March the state of alarm for an initial period of 15 days was declared under the shelter of the Article 116.2 of the Spanish constitution.^{[307][308][309]} The delay in implementing the state of emergency meant that some people in Madrid left for the regions, bringing the virus with them.^[299] On 25 March, the parliament—with less than 50 members of 350 present—approved the government's request to extend of the state of alarm until 11 April.^[310] On 28 March, the prime minister ordered all non-essential workers to stay at home from 30 March to 9 April to bend the curve and contain the epidemic. Fernando Simón stated that ICUs were expected to be full by the end of this week or early the next week.^[311] According to The Guardian, Spain's initially slow response to the coronavirus caused the epidemic to become severe even though it did not share a land border with Italy or other severely affected countries.^[299] An analysis in Vox hypothesized that the minority government did not want to risk its hold on power by banning large gatherings early; the prime minister initially defended his decision to allow large gatherings to continue.^[312]

As of 23 March 2020, there were 240,245 police officers^[313] and more than 2,500 military deployed across the country.^[314] Some police made trips to quarantined populations and played music to lift spirits.^[315] On 24 March, the government seized control of private nursing homes nationwide, and announced a judicial inquiry after troops found nursing home patients who had died of COVID-19 left dead in their beds.^[316] In Madrid, hospitals refused transfers from nursing homes, and a skating rink was used to store dead bodies as the city morgue overflowed.^[316]

The Spanish government had ordered 340,000 coronavirus test kits from Shenzhen Bioeasy Biotechnology, which claimed an 80 percent strike rate. However, the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) found that Bioeasy's test kit, which uses nose swabs, had an accuracy rate of less than 30 percent, and the city of Madrid stopped using them. The Chinese embassy claimed that the Bioeasy test kits had not been approved by China's National Medical Products Administration and said they were not included in the medical supplies sent by the Chinese government to Spain.^{[317][318][319]} On 29 March, the Czech Republic donated 10,000 protective medical suits and 90 respirators, which were sent in a Czech Air Force plane.^[320]

By 31 March, police had issued 100,000 citations and arrested 1,000 people for violating social distancing regulations. Fines can range from €100 to €30,000 for serious violations.^[321] Drones are used for enforcement. Police also set up 30,000 roadblocks to stop people from traveling.^[312]

The state of alarm will expire on 12 April and the government plans to ease lockdowns going forward, assuming that new infections decrease.^[322]

Economic and social impact

On 6 March, EFE reported that myths related to the coronavirus were spreading through the country.^[323] Panic buying occurred by 10 March.^[324]

On 20 March, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (President of the Community of Madrid) announced that 80% of the Madrid's residents might get the disease.^[325]

The pandemic has also influenced Spain's fragile economy and finances, with economist Toni Roldán stating that the country will need €200bn in loans from the European Stability Mechanism.^[299] Spanish leaders have called for "corona bonds", similar to the proposed but never implemented eurobonds, to help the country recover from the epidemic.^[311][326] As of 28 March, Goldman Sachs was predicting a double-digit GDP decline for Spain.^[327]

Low income neighborhoods in Barcelona have seven times the rate of infection of more affluent neighborhoods. Part of the reason is that essential workers, who have kept going to work despite the epidemic, are likely to work in low-skill jobs such as supermarkets or elder care. Also, many care workers are immigrants, who lack access to unemployment benefits and live in some of the lowest category housing. Homeless people are also at risk and the charities that help them were forced to cease operations because of the disease.^[328]

Healthcare system

On 23 March, The Guardian reported that hospitals in the Madrid area were being overwhelmed by coronavirus patients.^[329] Per capita, Spain has only a third as many hospital beds as Germany and Austria.^[299] As of 28 March, the burden on intensive care units per confirmed case was 7.8, almost as high as Italy and far above any other European country.^[330] As of 31 March, intensive care units in Cataluña, Madrid, Castilla–La Mancha, and Castilla y León are at or over 80% capacity, despite efforts to triple the number of beds available. Most of the patients are suffering from coronavirus.^[331] However, El País reported that the number of patients in intensive care was decreasing and fewer patients were coming to the hospital with medical emergencies, especially in Madrid. According to Miquel Porta, this is an indication that government containment measures are having an effect.^[332] Austerity measures, enacted by the previous government of Mariano Rajoy which cut billions of euros from health budgetss, were blamed by some experts for reducing the capacity of the healthcare system. Healthcare spending in Spain is 5.9 percent, below the EU average of 7.5 percent. Before the coronavirus epidemic, some doctors were unemployed or had emigrated to look for work. Now, retired healthcare workers are being called back to the job and medical students are being recruited to perform some tasks. The privatization of hospitals undergone during Rajoy's regime has undermined efforts to coordinate the response to the crisis.^[328][333]

As of 28 March, at least 9,444 of the cases—about 14% of the total, double that of Italy—are in healthcare workers. One cause of infection is the lack of adequate protective gear, leading some healthcare workers to make their own improvised gear. According to Fernando Simón, only 8.8% of diagnosed healthcare workers require hospitalization, in contrast to 40% of other cases of the disease. Some doctors and nurses have nevertheless succumbed to the illness.^[334][330]

Many nursing homes in Spain are understaffed because they are for-profit businesses and elderly Spaniards cannot necessarily afford sufficient care.^[299] In some nursing homes, elderly victims were found abandoned in their beds by Spanish soldiers mounting emergency response. Defense minister Margarita Robles said that anyone guilty of neglect will be prosecuted.^[329] By 23 March, a fifth of nursing homes in the Madrid area had reported cases of the virus. More than 65% of fatalities have occurred in those 80 or older, compared to 50% in Italy and only 15% in China.^[335] On 28 March, children and young people who obeyed social distancing by staying at home were applauded by Spanish residents for doing their part to combat the epidemic.^[336]

Political impact

On 8 March 2020, Vox held a political rally that was attended by over 9,000 people and later apologised after Santiago Abascal, its president, Javier Ortega Smith, its secretary general, and multiple members of its party in the Congress of Deputies tested positive for COVID-19.^[337]

On 12 March 2020, the Congress of Deputies voted to suspend activity for a week after multiple members had tested positive for the virus.^[337] When the Congress of Deputies approved the extension of the State of Alarm on 18 March, it was the first time that opposition parties Popular Party and Vox had supported the government in a vote while separatist parties, such as Catalan Republican Left, abstained from the vote.^[338]

The response to the coronavirus has been complicated by the fact that Pedro Sánchez is leading PSOE (in coalition with Unidas Podemos) minority government which is counting on support from opposition parties to enact coronavirus measures, especially with regards to economic stimulus. So far, the cabinet is discussing proposals to offer zero-interest loans to tenants to pay rent so that smaller landlords who depend on rent income can stay afloat. PP leader Pablo Casado complained that the government was not keeping him informed of developments on the coronavirus. Ciudadanos leader Inés Arrimadas said that she supports the government's actions.^[338] Vox has called for the prime minister's resignation.^[322]

The 2020 Basque regional election, scheduled for 5 April, were delayed, after an agreement between all the political parties represented in the Basque parliament; the Galician elections were also suspended.^[339][340]

Spread to other countries and territories

On 29 February 2020, a woman who had arrived in Ecuador on 14 February from Spain tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and became the first case of coronavirus in the country. Days later she felt discomfort and fever, so she was hospitalised and underwent various tests. The person, 70 years old and with previous illnesses, was isolated and admitted “in intensive care”. According to Deputy Minister Julio López, her status was critical and her forecast was reserved.^[341] On 13 March 2020, the first death (the first Ecuadorian infection case) was reported by the Minister of Public Health of Ecuador, Catalina Andramuño, during a press conference in Guayaquil.^[342]

On 6 March, Peruvian Ministry of Health and President confirmed the first case in the country from a 25-year-old man who visited Spain, France and Czech Republic.^[343]

On 14 March it was reported that a woman coming from the Spanish city of Móstoles became the first case in Equatorial Guinea.^[352]
