CORONA VIRUS HOTLINE: Information hotline for those who suspect they may have the coronavirus. Anyone experiencing symptoms should stay at home and dial 900 400 061 or 955 545 060 – and only call 112 in an emergency.
When you need reliable info consult The Citizens Advice Bureau Spain at https://www.citizensadvice.org.es/…or the website or Facebook page of your local Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). I suggest you check it daily.
Correcting flawed submissions: If you send an incorrect submission, or you forget to include the photos, please send in a new, full corrected submission and ask me to ignore the previous, incorrect submission.

Please be careful about believing crisis info posts on Fakebook, Social Media and even mainline news sources: There are tons of hoaxes circulating. If there is no verifiable source provided with the info, while it may contain some degree of truth (as do all good lies) you should always have a healthy degree of scepticism. -Ed.

Microsoft Is Closing All It’s Retail Stores Permanently Due to COVID-19: The memo announcing the change is long on PR-speak, short on actual information. We are told, for example, that “As we look forward, we start a new chapter for Microsoft Store,” and “As part of our business plan, we announced a strategic change in our retail operations,” — a strategic change, you say? How delightful! — “including closing Microsoft Store physical locations.” ?!? This seems less like a strategic change and more like “quitting the retail business.” Ah well. What can you expect from a company statement released primarily on LinkedIn?

Tennis News- Davis Cup and Fed Cup postponed until 2021: Neither postponement has come as a surprise, particularly following the chaos caused by the Adria Tour event earlier this month.
Due to be hosted in Madrid, the Davis Cup Finals were supposed to have taken place from November 23-29. With the competition now set to begin on November 22, 2021, it was confirmed the 18 teams that have already qualified for the men’s global team tournament will have their places secured, while the draw for the finals remains the same.
The women’s equivalent, the Fed Cup, has also unsurprisingly hit a similar stumbling block and will now take place from April 13-18. Budapest remains its location and, much like the Davis Cup, the teams that have already qualified will retain their places. The Fed Cup Play-offs will go ahead at the start of February.
