This evening, March 10, King Felipe and Queen Letizia were scheduled to attend the "In Memoriam" concert for victims of terrorist attacks organized by the Victims of Terrorism Foundation, but the concert was cancelled due to the Corona virus risk.

I truly agree, it pains me to see this, specially with Spain, they are nuetros hermanos. I'm so sad really, knowing that they're suffering so much right next to me in a just a few kilometers away.
 
It is really sad what is happening in Spain. Spain's situation is no longer very different from that of Italy.
I hope things start to get better as soon as possible.

Wow surprised they are still meeting people, even 1:1.
 
I was surprised too - Spain is one of the most affected countries after Italy IIRC. Even if they were tested negative for COVID-19, with the current death toll of the country it's better to be safe than sorry. I was meant to be spending two weeks in Catalonia (the worst hit region) in June, though have cancelled because of Coronavirus.
