MADRID - The regional government of Madrid is aiming to test 1 million people - about 13 per cent of the population - for Covid-19 over the next week in a desperate battle to avert another lockdown.
Across the continent alarm is growing that officials may be forced to return to the kind of harsh restrictions that shut down much of the economy during the first part of the year. Spanish cases rose at a slower pace than the previous day but still by more than 4,500 and more than a third of those new infections were in Madrid.
UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock on Friday declined to rule out a second national lockdown and said the acceleration of cases and hospital admissions across Britain represents a"big moment." Ireland is expected to declare that most bars in Dublin will be closed from Saturday and that travel into and out of the city will be restricted, while Austria is banning indoor gatherings of more than 10 people from Monday after bars, clubs and private parties fueled new infections.
