MADRID: Madrid residents were largely coming and going as normal on Monday despite a prohibition on non-essential travel in the first European capital to return to a coronavirus lockdown due to resurgent infections, which rose above 800,000 nationally.

"I haven't seen any police controls. I don't quite understand this situation that they have created," said nutrition student Cristina Canete. Under the new rules, residents can only cross city boundaries for work, school, health or shopping. Bars and restaurants must close at 11pm instead of 1am, while gatherings of more than six people remain banned.
