Covid-19 cases are on the rise in Spain. Around 15,000 new cases of the disease have been reported in the past week.

In the city of Valencia a team of engineers and scientists are going into the sewer network in an attempt to find out where outbreaks are likely to spring up next.

A pity they did not do it in Leicester, where they locked down on mass and including areas that did not require it. If they had, it would not have got so bad in the first place. All testing is still not up to par unfortunately. As school teachers often say "Room for improvement, could do better"
