Land border between Spain and Morocco at Ceuta and Melilla to reopen gradually from May 17; easing of further restrictions by May 31.
Event
Spanish authorities announced that the country's land borders with Morocco at Melilla and Ceuta would begin a phased reopening from May 17 at 00:01, following two years of closure due to COVID-19 and political tensions between the two countries. The initial phase of the reopening will see residents of Europe's Schengen area and their relatives permitted to cross, with a second phase permitting the entry of cross-border workers expected by May 31.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice.
