Spain begins to ease lockdown to revive economy
Spain, one of the countries worst hit by the coronavirus, is beginning to ease strict lockdown measures that have brought its economy to a standstill.
People in manufacturing, construction and some services are being allowed to return to work, but must stick to strict safety guidelines.
The rest of the population must still remain at home.
Almost 17,500 people with COVID-19 have died in Spain, but the rate of new infections has been falling.
Italy - the hardest-hit country in Europe, with almost 19,900 deaths - will allow a narrow range of firms to resume operations on Tuesday.
