The coronavirus incidence rate continues to rise in Spain, prompting fears the country could be entering a fourth wave of the pandemic. This comes at a time when only half of the 80-and-over population has been vaccinated against Covid-19, according to an estimate by EL PAÍS.
In the meantime, there is growing frustration over Spain's Easter travel restrictions – while foreign tourists can vacation in the country, residents are not allowed to travel outside their regional border. In response to the situation, the European Commission has called on Spain for "coherence."
In vaccine news, Spain has lifted the age limit for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to 65. But the temporary suspension of its use over health concerns has considerably delayed the rollout. Despite this, the country is still on track to vaccinate 70% of the adult population with at least one dose by June.
And finally, we looked at the incredible story of former Barcelona basketball star Charles Thomas who disappeared for 40 years only to turn up in a center for people with disabilities in Texas.

Dear readers,
Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Pablo Iglesias will step down from his position to run as Unidas Podemos' candidate for Madrid premier in the upcoming regional elections. This is just one of a series of unexpected moves and counter-moves sparked by last week's no-confidence motions in Murcia.
In other big news, Spain has become the fifth country in the world to regulate euthanasia. After decades of social debate, the Congress of Deputies passed a law on Thursday that guarantees the right to a dignified death.
As for the vaccination drive, Spain will restart AstraZeneca-Oxford shots next week, after temporarily suspending the doses over safety concerns linked to blood clot cases. The European Medicines Agency, however, has concluded that the vaccine is "effective and safe." The Health Ministry has also defined which groups of chronically ill will be next in line for the shots.
And finally, we shared the story of Antoni Campañà, the Spanish Civil War photographer who took thousands of images of the conflict then hid them in a box for decades. The moving images – discovered 30 years after his death – are now on display at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition, and that you are staying safe.
Thanks for reading.
