Spain will reopen its borders with Schengen zone countries on 22 June – except for its border with Portugal.
The Spain-Portugal border will instead be opened on 1 July.
The decision was announced on Sunday by Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sanchez, at the weekly video conference with regional presidents that have been held since the coronavirus outbreak.
As cases and deaths decreased, Spain has been slowly removing the strict measures put in place to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.
