Dear readers,
Spain's Covid-19 vaccination drive was dealt a new blow this week after the rollout of the Janssen vaccine was put on hold due to concerns over rare blood clot cases. While the goal of immunizing 70% of the adult population is still within reach, the pause may cause problems in the medium term.
In other vaccine news, Spain's regions have begun inoculating the 70-79 age group as well as people with medical conditions that make them especially vulnerable to Covid-19. Here is an overview of how the drive is progressing in each region.
Meanwhile, coronavirus cases continue to rise, with the 14-day cumulative number of cases per 100,000 inhabitants now at 202. In response to the worsening situation, several regions have called on the central government to extend the state of alarm, which is set to expire on May 9.
And finally, we looked at the "salt curse" threatening the famous cathedral in Cádiz in the south of Spain.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition, and that you are staying safe.
Thanks for reading.
