MADRID — Spain bans people from leaving home except to go to work or buy essential supplies, in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announces the restrictions on movement following a huge spike in the number of cases with over 5,700 people infected in this nation of some 46 million people.
