Spain fears strict new coronavirus restrictions as infections rise

There are fears that tough coronavirus restrictions will be reimposed in Spain following a surge in positive cases. Latest official figures released by Spanish health officials reveal the country has overtaken the UK to record the highest number of cases in Europe. Nervous tourist bosses are concerned that any tightening of rules to prevent an escalation of the virus could effectively end any hopes of kickstarting the season during what remains of summer. This applies especially in resorts already hard-hit by a lack of British tourists following UK government guidelines against all-but-essential travel to the country.
