The spread of coronavirus is out of control in certain parts of Spain, according to Health Minister Salvador Illa.
“We are in the middle of a second wave, it’s no longer a threat but rather a reality,” Illa said in an interview on Madrid-based Onda Cero radio. “In some parts of our country the epidemic isn’t under control, so we need to take more drastic measures.”
