Coronaviruscases in Spain have surged to new heights as the country wrestles with a fresh wave of the virus.
Over the past two weeks there have been 537 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the health ministry announced on Friday.
In some regions the figure is even higher, with worst-hit Catalonia reporting a 14-day contagion rate of 1,160 cases per 100,000 people.
The new spike in coronavirus came after authorities had forced new cases down to just a trickle in early June.
