Prueba a abrirlo en tu navegador | Dear readers, Coronavirus infections in Spain continue to rise, with the incidence rate above 100 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over 14 days for the first time in two months. The upward trend has prompted several regions to consider introducing or widening the use of the so-called "Covid passport" in spaces such as bars and restaurants. But while contagions are rising, Covid-19 vaccines remain very effective against preventing serious illness and death, according to studies analyzed by EL PAÍS. In other news, the new volcano on La Palma claimed its first victim last weekend, when a man died while clearing away ash from his home. Although experts say the volcano has "lost energy," the lava flows continue to wreak havoc: more than 1,000 hectares have been covered with molten rock since the eruption began two months ago. And finally, we published an interview with esteemed English historian Paul Preston, who spoke about the Franco dictatorship, the Spanish Civil War and his first experiences in Spain. We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition. Thanks for reading. | | | Spain is seeing an uptick in coronavirus contagions among the vaccinated.
