BARCELONA, Spain—Shrieks of joy rang out in the streets of Spain as children were allowed to go outside and play on Apri 26 for the first time in six weeks, while people in Italy and France were eager to hear their leaders’ plans for easing some of the world’s strictest lockdowns.
“This is wonderful! I can’t believe it has been six weeks,” Susana Sabaté, a mother of 3-year-old twin boys, said in Barcelona. “My boys are very active. Today when they saw the front door and we gave them their scooters, they were thrilled.”
