MADRID—Spanish regions are bringing back curfews as well as restrictions on socializing and nightlife after a sharp rise in coronavirus infections.

Catalonia and Valencia, two Mediterranean coast regions with major virus outbreaks, are limiting social gatherings to 10 people and restoring late night restrictions on all activities, while the northern region of Asturias on Monday banned indoor bar and restaurants operations.
