COVID-19: employment situation during confinement in Spain 2020

After the declaration of the state of alarm on March 14, 2020 due to COVID-19, Spain experienced a phenomenon hitherto unknown in the country's recent history: a quarantine.For approximately eight weeks and following the government measures established, the population was confined to their homes trying to avoid the contagion of the dreaded SARS-CoV-2. But staying home did not necessarily mean stop working. On the contrary, according to a study carried out between April 6th and 8th, 2020, 40 percent of those surveyed had the option of being able to telework, compared to 19 percent who had to continue going to their workplace.

自2020年3月14日因COVID-19疫情宣布进入紧急状态以来，西班牙见证了该国近代史上一度未曾出现的现象：隔离。在政府实施的措施指导下，民众约八周时间被限制在家中，力求避免遭受令人畏惧的SARS-CoV-2病毒的感染。然而，居家隔离并不意味着停止工作。相反，根据一项于2020年4月6日至8日进行的调查显示，40%的受访者拥有远程工作的选择权，而相比之下，19%的受访者则不得不继续前往工作场所。
