Public institutions have appealed to the “high responsibility of all citizens” to comply with the Royal Decree issued this Sunday by which all people must remain in their homes, and has warned that the Local Police will sanction the breach of this order to “prevent the spread” of the COVID-19 coronavirus. This Sunday agents of the security forces were already sending home and explaining the situation to runners and cyclists.
