Скачать или смотреть Covid-19: Spain Opens 24-Hour Vaccination Centers to Draw Young People

Some hospitals in Spain are running 24-hour Covid-19 vaccination centers, with young people queuing up for their coronavirus jabs through the night. Spain's two-week Covid-19 caseload is now over three times higher among people under 30 than the average, fueled by parties to mark the end of the school year and the beginning of summer.

The Nurse Isabel Zendal Hospital in Madrid started the all-hours service in late June. The night shift has been in high demand among the youngest and those hoping to find the process easier and faster.

Monday was also the first day of Covid-19 vaccinations for those over 16 years of age.

The closely watched variable rose nationally on Monday to 368 cases per 100,000 residents, according to Fernando Simón, who coordinates Spain's response to health emergencies.

Spanish regions are bringing back curfews as well as restrictions on socializing and nightlife to contain a sharp rise in coronavirus infections as the fast-spreading delta variant races through the country's unvaccinated young people.

Catalonia and Valencia, two Mediterranean coast regions with major virus outbreaks, are limiting social gatherings to 10 people and restoring late night restrictions on all activities, while the northern region of Asturias on Monday banned indoor bar and restaurants operations.

All bars, restaurants and cultural venues must now close at 12:30 am and eating and drinking in the streets is banned, the regional government announced Monday, recommending local authorities to also restrict the region's popular beaches.

The measures need to be authorized by a judge.

Spain has fully vaccinated more than 21 million people or 46% of its total population.

But only roughly 600,000 of those are under 30, the next target group for vaccine jabs.
