MADRID (Reuters) - Spain will allow children to go outside for walks from next weekend in a loosening of the country's strict coronavirus lockdown, Health Minister Salvador Illa said late on Tuesday, amid mounting criticism that the government's restrictions unfairly penalise the very young.
The change came hours after the government first announced that young children, who are currently banned from leaving home under any circumstances, would be allowed to accompany their parents on essential trips such as to buy food or medicine.
