Spain tells millions stay home as EU meets on virus rescue plan

Four million residents of Barcelona have been urged to stay at home as virus cases rise, while EU leaders wrangled for a second in Brussels, seeking to rescue Europe’s economy from the ravages of the pandemic.

Spain’s COVID-19 death toll of 28,400 is one of Europe’s worst and the country has identified more than 150 new virus clusters across the country.

Barcelona, one of Europe’s most visited cities, warned of a potential return to lockdown as EU leaders met in Brussels.
