MADRID (Reuters) - Spain reported a record 38,869 new COVID-19 infections on Wednesday in the wake of the Christmas holidays, and the regions of Galicia, La Rioja and Cantabria became the latest to tighten coronavirus restrictions.
Despite the worrying rise, Health Minister Salvador Illa highlighted that with 92,000 doses of vaccine administered over the past 24 hours, Spain had reached the desired pace for vaccination, with less than 5% of the population refusing to be inoculated.
