Nightclubs, bars and beaches, some of Spain's most beloved summer venues, are facing new lockdown restrictions after turning into coronavirus hot spots.
Bathers enjoy the beach in Cadiz, south of Spain, on Friday, July 24, 2020. With the coronavirus rebounding in parts of Spain, it appears that several regions have not adequately prepared to trace new infections in what was supposed to be an early detection system to prevent a new cascade of cases.
Britain has put Spain back on its unsafe list, and announced Saturday that travellers arriving in the U.K. from Spain must now quarantine for 14 days. France is recommending that travelers ditch plans to spend their summer vacations in Barcelona and its nearby beaches, which have seen crowds too massive to allow for social distancing. Police had to step in and take measures to reduce the number of beach-goers.
Spain reported over 900 new daily infections on Thursday and Friday as authorities warned that the country which lost at least 28,400 lives before getting its outbreak under control could be facing the start of a second major onslaught. That now looks more and more like wishful thinking, meaning the economic blow heading Spain’s way will likely be greater than the deep recession already forecast.
With Spain’s 19 regional governments back in charge of their health care systems, there’s been a variety of responses to the revival of the virus.
