Spain has returned to the global spotlight due to a rise in recent coronavirus cases that has triggered worries that a second wave is on Europe’s doorstep, with the U.K. and other countries recommending against travel to the country.
The number of active outbreaks across several regions was 482, with 4,870 cases, as of Thursday, though officials have said Spain isn’t repeating March and April — when hospitals were overwhelmed, morgues overflowed and the country was locked down. To date, 28,441 people have died here, while global infections have topped 17 million.
MarketWatch spoke to Dr. Vicente Soriano, director of the UNIR Medical Center in Madrid, clinician and professor of infectious diseases at the UNIR Health Sciences School & Medical Center, to discuss the latest developments in Spain.Soriano: I think what we are seeing right now is something that was inevitable and expected in some way.
Soriano: [The regions of] Aragón, Catalonia, Navarra. In Catalonia, I would say there are two issues. There are thousands of people visiting Barcelona. It’s a place with beaches…and in the interior inner land of Catalonia is mostly agriculture, because it’s a huge place for that during the summertime, immigrants from Africa and Eastern Europe come every year. In Aragón, it’s almost the same issue. In Madrid there are still not many cases because of a problem with testing.
“You need to make a proportion between health benefits and the need to survive economically,” he said.
