Four members of a family have tested positive for coronavirus in Spanish holiday hotspot Benidorm as more UK tourists fly out to the resort.
The outbreak is the third in the province of Alicante within 24 hours with eight new positive Covid-19 cases in the region bringing the total number of infections to 4,027.
According to local media the family members affected are not seriously ill and all people they have been in contact with have been traced. The number of UK visitors to the resort has risen dramatically in recent days since lockdown restrictions were eased.
Officials did not say whether the family are tourists or locals, MirrorOnline reports.
The latest outbreak comes as Spain reported the steepest daily jump in coronavirus infections in over two months with 580 new cases registered.
Authorities have reimposed restrictions in some areas, including home confinement in the Lleida area affecting some 160,000 people, and health officials there said measures will need to be taken in the Catalonia regional capital Barcelona.
Spain's health ministry put the number of cases in Catalonia confirmed over the past 24 hours at 142, up from 91 the previous day.
The Catalan health authority, which counts both confirmed and suspected cases, said the number soared to 1,293 overnight, the highest since at least May 18, when the counting methodology changed.
Catalan Barcelona capital - home to 1.6 million people and one of Europe's most visited cities - tripled its number of coronavirus cases from last week.
In Aragon in the east, the number of infections jumped to 266 from 160, according to the health ministry.
Meanwhile, hundreds were forced into isolation in Majorca as 12 new cases were confirmed - the largest number in weeks.
