Spain’s army says it expects two more outbreaks of the coronavirus, according to an internal document seen byThe Associated Press.
The army report predicts “two more waves of the epidemic” and Spain will take “between a year and a year-and-a-half to return to normality.”
It says the second wave would be in autumn or winter and possibly less serious than the initial outbreak due to higher immunity in the population.
It adds a possible third wave would be “greatly weakened” if there is a vaccine available next year.
The document was published by Spanish newspaper ABC on Friday and later confirmed as authentic by the AP.
