epa09334942 National Police officers watch out for the compliance with the restrictions to curb the incidence of the fifth wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in downtown Orense, Galicia, north-western Spain, early 10 July 2021. Fearing that the fifth COVID-19 wave will put the final nail in the coffin of the tourist season and slow down the economic recovery even more, every regional government in Spain has set new packages of measures. In the case of Galicia, from 10 July on, access to nightlife venues is subject to the presentation of a complete vaccination certificate or a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test performed 72 hours before, at least.
