-
The government has heeded the regional authority's request to move all eight provinces of Andalucía into the new phase at the same time
Malaga province moves into Phase Three of coronavirus lockdown easing along with the rest of Andalucía on Monday.
The Health Minister announced on Friday that all of the regions that had requested a move would be proceeding to the next phase in the staged plan towards Spain's "new normal".
While the provinces of Malaga and Granada were only promoted to Phase Two of lockdown easing this week, the regional government had called for Madrid to allow all eight Andalusian provinces to progress to Phase Three this coming Monday 8 June.
It was important to avoid a two-speed Andalucía, it argued.
Phase Three relaxes the Covid-19 state of alarm restrictions even further.
