On July 5^th, according to an announcement issued by the government of Galicia in Northern Spain, more than 70,000 residents of the La Marina city in Lugo province will be put under another quarantine starting July 5^th, until at least July 12^th.

The region is witnessing a resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic, as nearly 200 cases recorded daily in the past few days, most of which were believed to be related to some local bar outbreaks.

After the blockade order has been re-applied, all restaurants and bars in the blocked area are only allowed to receive 50% the usual number of guests. People are forced to wear face masks when going out, gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited, and travelling in and out of the region has been restricted.

This is the second locality in Spain to be put into a localised lockdown in the past two days. On July 4^th, the region of Catalonia also had to isolate an area of more than 200,000 people because of COVID-19 outbreak.

These incidents are causing concern for the Spanish people when the country has just officially removed the national lockdown for only 2 weeks and has just opened the border to welcome international visitors from July 1^st.

In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his government decided to prolong the lockdown in the city of Leicester, which is home for over 300,000 people despite the UK's plan to reopen many nationwide economic activities from the beginning of this week.
