BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN COVID CRISIS

 Spain prepares support package to aid bars and restaurants hit by coronavirus crisis

The plan has become increasingly urgent as Spain’s regions introduce new restrictions to contain the second wave of the pandemic – many of which affect the sector.

 In Asturias, Castilla y León, Navarre, Murcia, Galicia and Catalonia, the entire hostelry industry has been shut down, while in Andalusia, bars and restaurants must end table service by 6pm; in Aragon, they close at 8pm 

 Other measures, such as the nighttime curfew,  have also hurt businesses in the hostelry industry.
