Spain's children have been released from six weeks of home confinement as the country reins in its coronavirus outbreak.
After six weeks cooped up with her 3-year-old twins, Susana Sabaté was finally able to release her energy-filled boys onto Spain’s sunny streets.
Sabaté’s sons wore child-size face masks as they went out. She said they were used to seeing both their parents wear them when they went out, so she believed that made it easier to persuade them to put their masks on.Gustavo Tapia, Sabaté's husband, said that taking Tomás and Zacarías for a stroll in the neighborhood was a joy.
Authorities had resisted calls from some parents to let children outside until now, citing concerns that they could be a source of contagion even though children appear to rarely fall ill from the new virus.
