The Second Wave of the Pandemic is Intensifying in the European Union: Details

The second wave of the pandemic is intensifying in the European Union. Currently, around 3,000 people are in quarantine in Spain. Following the implementation of strict isolation measures in one of Catalonia's agglomerations, similar actions have begun to be applied since Monday for 70,000 residents in the Galicia region of Spain. The quarantine in Galicia will continue for at least a week.

Meanwhile, official Madrid emphasizes that, overall, the epidemic situation in the country is under control. The situation in South America is nearly the same as that in the European Union. Argentina has reintroduced a strict quarantine regime. Auroranews has contacted an Armenian family residing in Argentina to understand the severity of the situation and the impact of the emergency on society.

In a conversation with us, Gayane Azizyan, who lives in Argentina, stated that the strict quarantine regime has resumed for a few days, and this time the situation is more complicated because it is quite cold in the country, and there is constant heavy snowfall. “The local authorities are again announcing a growing danger and rapid spread of the coronavirus. The previous strict regime passed more quickly as it wasn’t as cold, but now there is heavy snow which also affects the mood,” said our interlocutor.
