Spain is at risk of another spike in coronavirus infections: Health Minister of Spain says
New Delhi: The top health official of Spain on Wednesday appealed the Spanish people to stay safe and alert amid the rise of coronavirus in the country. Health Minister of Spain Carolina Darias said that “We are facing a decisive moment. We must invert this tendency. We have to intensify our efforts.”
A consistently rising number of coronavirus cases in the European region is already a red alarm for the European countries.
On coronavirus spread in Spain Darias said that “The spread of the more contagious variants is pushing up infections across Spain. A nightly curfew and other restrictions on movement had put a cap on infections until two weeks ago when the figures started to increase.”
Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska also said that “Police will be extra vigilant to enforce bans on travel between regions and unauthorized social gatherings for next week’s Easter holidays.”
“Our goal is to save lives,” says Grande-Marlaska.
People in Spain are standing in line to get the shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine and Spain the latest country to restart the vaccine after its credibility suffered a series of recent setbacks.
More than 7000 cases of coronavirus infection registered in Spain in the last 24 hours and the government claims 320 deaths, increasing the confirmed death toll to more than 74,000.
The Europe-based experts say that “All the European countries will have to boost its vaccination program to reduce the transmission of the deadliest virus. Cases of coronavirus are consistently rising in the Europe region and new variants detected by the scientists could be a new challenge for Europe and the world too.”
