Spain shuts all nightclubs and discos after alarming surge in COVID-19 cases

Spain announced on Friday the closure of all discos, nightclubs and dance halls amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the country, with almost 50,000 new infections recorded in the past 14 days.

COVID-19 hospitalisations have quintupled since early July, when cases were reduced to a trickle and the virus seemed to have been almost defeated after three months of strict lockdown.
Nearly 3,000 new cases were recorded on Thursday only - mostly in Madrid - almost double the number on the previous day, with young people getting infected at a higher rate.  Proactive Chart
