Iran Press/ Europe: Spain has declared a state of emergency over coronavirus and ordered people to stay at home unless it's for work or food shopping.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez made the move in a televised address after the country became one of Europe's worst-hit for COVID-19.
It came less than an hour after his French counterpart, Edouard Philippe, introduced tough new restrictions in France.
He announced bars, restaurants and other non-essential outlets would close in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19.
