Europe Scrambles to Stop Second Wave of COVID-19

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - Emma Gaya winces with pain as the nurse at her local clinic
   inserts a swab deep into her nose.

   Gaya had been suffering from a fever and fears she may have been
   infected with the coronavirus. Her hometown of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia is
   one of several in Spain's northeast Catalonia region to see a rise in
   infections.

   The public health clinic is conducting around 25 tests each day and has
   detected a dozen cases in the past two weeks, a rate considered high by
   epidemiologists.

   "It pains me that we could go right back where we started," Gaya said,
   fearing she may pass the virus on to her 70-year-old mother. "I think
   we had done well. Now, I don't know if we are doing it well."
