Primary tabs
Germany has recorded its biggest daily increase in coronavirus cases in more than three months as European countries struggle to curb a surge in infections.

It came as Germany warned against non-essential trips to parts of Spain.
Meanwhile, France had 2,524 new cases in 24 hours, the highest daily rise since its lockdown was lifted in May.

Experts are working to determine why Spain is struggling more than other countries after western Europe had achieved a degree of control over the virus.
But one thing is clear: The size of the second wave has depended on the response to the first one.
“The data don’t lie,” Rafael Bengoa, the former health chief of Spain’s Basque Country region and an international consultant on public health, told The Associated Press.
“The numbers are saying that where we had good local epidemiological tracking, like (in the rural northwest), things have gone well,” Bengoa said. “But in other parts of the country where obviously we did not have the sufficient local capacity to deal with outbreaks, we have community transmission again, and once you community transmission, things get out of hand.”...
