On 28 April 2020, the Spanish Government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, presented its Four-Phase Plan for the progressive transition of the different Spanish regions to a “new normality.”
The different phases reflect a gradual reactivation of the Spanish economy and lifting of social restrictions, which currently apply due to the nationwide state of alarm (currently until 9 May 2020).
Transitioning to the next phase must be approved by the central government on a case-by-case basis. In order to transition, the different provinces must prove compliance with certain safety measures at the municipal level to the central government.
