ARCHIVED - 40 municipalities in the Andalusia region remain confined from March 26 for another week

In most of the eight provinces the alert level is two or three, permitting movement within the province

This week 40 municipalities are confined and in nine of them non-essential activity is suspended.

The different Covid-related restrictions in place for the eight provinces of the Andalucía region (Andalusia in English) namely (Almería, Granada, Málaga, Cádiz, Córdoba, Seville, Jaén and Huelva) are quite confusing at the moment, as while some measures are region-wide, such as provincial border closures preventing movement between provinces, a perimeter border closure affecting all of the region and a night-time curfew, others depend on area-specific infection rates and alarm levels.

Many health districts in Andalusia have recently moved down from level 4 to levels 3 and 2, meaning that some restrictions have changed.
