The northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia won court approval for a night curfew on Thursday as Madrid pledged to distribute millions more test kits to tackle the Omicron variant that is driving up infections and overshadowing Christmas.

Spain lifted most restrictions over the summer thanks to a high vaccination rate that suppressed infection but Omicron’s arrival has sent daily cases soaring to reach a record of more than 72 900 on Thursday.

Adopting the hardest line since Spain emerged from a state of emergency in May, Catalonia, which surrounds the city of Barcelona, will ban residents from leaving their homes between 1 am and 6 am from Thursday night, while other regions took a less stringent approach. “The idea is to try to limit, during the Christmas season,social interactions where the mask is not used,” regional leader Fernando Lopez Miras said, explaining the measure, which northern Aragon was also considering.

The region of Madrid, whose right-wing regional leader has prioritised the hospitality sector throughout the pandemic, focused on better testing and pledged to distribute 12 million rapid tests over Christmas.
