ABSTRACT
Spain declared a state of emergency on 14 March because of the serious situation due to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Spain has been a member of the European Union since 1986 and is located in the southwest corner of Europe. Spain has a central government, 17 regional governments, and 2 largely self-governing cities on the Mediterranean coast in Africa. The nation is also divided into 50 provinces and there are 8,125 local councils. Spain was the country most affected by Covid-19 after China and Italy. The virus started to be noticed early in February, with the first cases in the Canary Islands towards the end of January. A state of emergency was declared on 14 March. Geospatial information has been fundamental from the first signals of infection. The regions sent daily numbers for infections, deaths, and recoveries for each province. The Spanish provinces were then used as the basic units for controlling mobility.
