Police enforce Madrid virus state of emergency

(9 Oct 2020) Police officers carried out checks on Friday in Madrid to ensure those living in the city were adhering to restrictions imposed by the government to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Spain's government declared a state of emergency in the capital after it wresting control of efforts to fight the spread of COVID-19 from local authorities in a region that is experiencing one of Europe's most significant coronavirus outbreaks. The step, which took immediate effect and lasts for two weeks, forced Madrid authorities to restore restrictions on travel that had been introduced by the national government but were struck down the previous day by a Madrid court ruling. That successful legal challenge by Madrid officials was part of a long quarrel between the country's main political parties over their coronavirus response. The central government's measures prohibit all nonessential trips in and out of the capital and nine of its suburbs, affecting some 4.8 million people. Spain's interior minister said that more than 7,000 police officers would be deployed to ensure the restrictions are observed. But Madrid's conservative regional government opposed those restrictions, saying they were draconian and hurt the economy claiming their more moderate measures were enough to fight COVID-19.
