Germany’s foreign ministry has warned against unnecessary visits to three regions of Spain.
In a statement, it flagged Aragon, Catalonia and Navarra due to their “high infection numbers and local lockdowns.”
The regions have seen a huge rise in cases during recent days, but Spanish authorities insist that infections in most regions are under control.
It comes as Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said negligence was to blame for a recent rise in cases around the country.
“The new developments in Germany make me very worried,” RKI head Lothar Wieler told reporters.
More than 630 new cases were reported in Germany on Tuesday, and the RKI has blamed the increase on social contact in workplaces and at parties. It called on people to adhere to social distancing rules.
