BARCELONA, Spain—After six weeks cooped up with 3-year-old twins, mother Susana Sabaté was finally able to release her energy-filled boys onto Spain’s sunny streets.
Spain’s government lifted a home confinement rule for children under 14 years old after 44 days on April 26, ending one of the most restrictive measures of its national lockdown to rein in an outbreak that has claimed more than 22,000 lives in the European country. Even Italy, with more deaths than Spain, has not kept its youngsters completely secluded.
