Spain Starts Reopening Businesses for Half the Country
------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, around half the country is moving to the next phase of a
national plan to ease its lockdown. Restaurants and shops can operate at
reduced capacity. Museums, gyms and hotels will also be able to reopen
for business nearly two months after shutting their doors. However,
Madrid and Barcelona, Spain's two largest cities, still do not meet the
criteria to open up nonessential businesses.
