Spain’s experience offers a cautionary tale about how hard-won progress against the coronavirus pandemic can come undone
Spain’s experience offers a cautionary tale about howcan come undone. Faced with a deadly outbreak this spring, Spain imposed one of the world’s strictest lockdowns to bring it under control. By early June, new confirmed infections fell to under 300 a day, from a peak in March of nearly 8,000 daily cases.
Now, the virus has bounced back, with more than 5,000 cases a day detected on average. Spain shows that lockdowns alone aren’t enough: The key to containing the virus is how effectively a country builds up systems for testing, tracing and isolating potential virus carriers, while establishing clear safety rules as the economy reopens.
