We have retired relatives who are just about to make their planned return from a 3 month winter break in Spain (they had been working toward this expedition for a very long time). They are travelling by road, along with a group of others doing the same. However, the resort they are now staying at, in common with others, has just been put into lockdown. They have been told at present they must not visit any public place, such as a restaurant. They can apparently leave to drive to the port on Sunday but can only go on the road at all because they have pre-booked a ferry crossing. They have also been told they cannot make an overnight stop en route, as they had planned for. That's going to make the 400 mile journey difficult because one of them has a medical condition. My wife has been phoning them to keep them better informed because unlike here in UK they have not had such ready access to the local media.

We are now expecting them to have to go into isolation on their arrival back in UK and will have difficulty getting "set up" again once home because not surprisingly they had completely run down all their stocks of food etc before leaving the country three months ago.

Interesting times ahead.
