Barcelona, Oct 14 (AFP/APP): Bars and restaurants are to be closed across Spain’s northeastern Catalonia region for the next 15 days to slow rising coronavirus infections, the regional government said Wednesday.

“The measures will come into force overnight Thursday to Friday and will remain in place for an initial 15 days”, said Interim Regional Leader Pere Aragones, describing the measure “painful but necessary”.
