Photo / APEurope's second wave of coronavirus infections has struck well before flu season even started, with intensive care wards filling up again and bars shutting down. Spain this week declared a state of emergency for Madrid amid increasing tensions between local and national authorities over virus containment measures. "I have to say clearly that the situation is not good," the Czech interior minister, Jan Hamacek, acknowledged this week.
