Germany's national institute for infectious diseases on Wednesday added the Canary Islands to its list of risk regions, citing a high rate of new coronavirus infections in the Spanish autonomous region.

The Robert Koch Institute said the whole of Spain, mainland and islands, was a risk region. The institute's update is usually followed by a travel warning to the designated regions by the Foreign Ministry.
