Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said a national COVID-19 vaccination plan will be launched in January.


Sánchez said the vaccine will be administered at 13,000 locations across Spain and “a very substantial part of the population” can be vaccinated in the first half of next year.


Further details will be announced on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.


Sánchez said Spain’s 14-day cumulative rate of cases per 100,000 of population has fallen below 400.


Spain on Monday began demanding a negative PCR test for COVID-19 for most people arriving in Spain by air or by sea.


The measure covers arrivals from 65 countries, including most of the European Union.


Meanwhile, the northeastern region of Catalonia on Monday eased some of the tight restrictions on bars and restaurants and cultural events introduced in mid-October.


Although a 10 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew remains, Catalan bars and restaurants can have customers up to 30% capacity indoors and cultural venues can operate at 50% capacity.
