An outbreak of around 100 cases has been reported in Teba, Malaga, after a Christmas Day celebration in a cocktail bar.
ACCORDING to the city council, all Covid safety and hygiene measures were breached – there was no social distancing, no masks or limited capacity in place and the bar ignored established hours.
