MADRID—Spain ordered a two-week quarantine on all travelers arriving from abroad from May 15 in a bid to prevent visitors from sparking a second wave of the CCP virus, a move that will further harm the tourism sector already reeling from the epidemic.

One of the world’s worst-hit countries, Spain has largely brought the outbreak under control within its borders and has begun to relax its tight lockdown regime.
