Holidaymakers heading to Spain for their summer breaks are being urged to be vigilant after a surge in Covid-19 infections. There were 68,186 reported cases of coronavirus according to the Ministry of Health on June 24.
The popular holiday destination has, like many other European countries, seen a sharp increase in infections, with the county set to see a further rise with the peak "three weeks away". The number of cases increased by almost 20,000 having previously stood at 48,272.
The areas with the most concern are Madrid, the Canary Islands and La Rioja, all of which have exceeded the 1,000 case barrier. The Region of Murcia has seen a sharp increase, but Andalucia, meanwhile, remains bottom of the list.
