Latest COVID-Related Updates In Barcelona

Page Content

Latest update: 06 September 2022

This page provides the latest coronavirus updates on measures and restrictions to limit the spread of the COVID-19 in Barcelona, Spain.

The updates are posted chronologically, from the most recent to the oldest so make sure to read the latest post date for the latest updates. In our latest post we will only update the measures and restrictions that have changed since our previous post so keep scrolling down to see the measures and restrictions that haven't changed and are still in place until further notice.

We will use 'until further notice' when a measure or restriction is still in force. When the measure or restriction is removed, we will change 'until further notice' to the date the measure or restriction ended. Therefore if you see 'until further notice' it means the measure or restriction is still in place.
