Spain is one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus epidemic at European and even global level, but the incessant hype has clearly not been enough to encourage Spaniards to get vaccinated en masse.

Lisbob, the expatriate assistant, tells you all about what the Spanish think about the coronavirus and the vaccine.

The situation of the coronavirus epidemic is serious in Spain according to Pedro Sanchez, the head of the Spanish government, and he decided this Sunday, October 25th, in coordination with the various autonomous regions, to declare a state of emergency throughout the country and this until May 9th, 2021. The country records a “second wave” of high intensity according to the country's health authorities, and a second general confinement as in March-April is to be avoided at all costs in order not to further ruin plus the country. A curfew will be implemented from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., putting an end to the hopes of the middle of the night to survive this year, and travel between autonomous regions may be prohibited unless there is a valid reason.
