Spanish News in English

Dear readers,

The coronavirus pandemic dominated the headlines once again this week as more news emerged on vaccines, variants and case numbers.

On Wednesday, Spanish authorities announced that recipients of the Janssen vaccine would be offered a booster shot of Pfizer or Moderna after a study found the former to be less effective against Covid-19 than the other two.

Meanwhile, in Valencia the regional government expressed concern this week about the rise in coronavirus infections among tourists in Benidorm. Of the latest cases detected in the Spanish city, 53% were among the foreign population.

Health experts in Spain are also keeping a close eye on the delta plus variant of the coronavirus, which has now been found in seven regions. Only around 30 cases, however have been identified, and epidemiologists say there is currently no cause for alarm.

And finally, EL PAÍS rode with a Spanish truck driver for four days, all the way to the UK and back, to find out why younger generations are no longer interested in the job.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.

Thanks for reading.
