Spaniards allowed to exercise outside for first time in seven weeks

People exercise on Barcelona's seafront promenade today.

Spaniards are exercising on the streets for the first time after seven weeks of coronavirus lockdown.

Spain, one of the worst-hit countries in the world with 24,543 deaths and more than 213,000 cases of Covid-19, is rolling back restrictions that helped bring the outbreak under control and save hospitals from collapse.
