epa08428042 Two lifeguards stand watch at the beach of Binibequer in Binibeca, a coastal village on the Balearic island of Menorca, Spain, 17 May 2020. The warm Mediterranean beach remained closed as a red flag fluttered there âÄ“ despite the pleasant weather âÄ“ since visiting beaches is still banned as the region enters the so-called Phase 1 of the government's coronavirus lockdown exit plan. Lifeguards, however, still need to show up to work for informational purposes in case any wayward would-be beachgoers attempt to bask in the sun. The current state of emergency precludes citizens from bathing or even remaining static on the sand, as Spain's beloved beaches congregrate countless tourists, both domestic and foreign, every year.
