I saw that the Blue Lagoon just reopened yesterday. Does the eruption mean that it will close again or does it mean they don't have to worry about it erupting right at the spa?

It is most definitely closed. The only people in that area now are construction workers who are closing the gap between the two mountains Þorbjörn and Hagafell, in order to protect the power station. Edit: For context: https://www.mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2023/12/18/i_vidbragdsstodu_ad_fylla_upp_i_skard_a_gardinum_2/ https://www.mbl.is/frettir/innlent/2023/12/18/i_vidbragdssto... They're closing the barricade where the road intersects it. The northern intersection seems to be a priority rather than the southern one, like I thought first.

"About 4,000 people were earlier evacuated from the fishing town of Grindavik and the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa was closed." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67756413 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67756413
