Spain passes 500,000 corona cases, as first EU country
By EUobserver
Spain becomes the first country in Western Europe to register 500,000 coronavirus infections on Monday, after a second surge in cases that coincided with schools reopening, Reuters writes. Spains's health ministry data showed a total of 525,549 cases on Monday, up from 498,989 on Friday, and 2,440 infections registered in the last 24 hours. Spain updates its data retroactively, so the latest numbers could be revised.
