Spanish officials have expanded a lockdown in and around Madrid to cover one million people, as European nations faced up to a sustained spike in virus cases, AFP reported.
Madrid's health authority said new rules largely banning tens of thousands from leaving their districts — in addition to the 850,000 already living under similar restrictions — would be enforced from Monday.
New spikes are springing up across the continent, with Poland and France the latest to register record figures — France's daily cases soared past 16,000 for the first time in a stark indicator of the virus's resurgence.
