The regional government on Monday introduced mobility controls on some 850,000 people in the Madrid region—mostly in densely populated, low-income districts in the south. These neighbourhoods account for 13 per cent of the region’s population of 6.6 million—but 24 percent of virus infections. At a news conference, deputy health chief Antonio Zapatero confirmed that the restrictions would be extended to more areas, and said that the regional government would announce on Friday which zones will be affected.
