Authorities and health experts in Spain have called for prudence and responsibility amid a surge in cases among young people who are still waiting to be vaccinated after more than 1,000 Covid cases across the country were traced back to an end-of-year school trip to Mallorca.

Although more than a third of Spain's 47 million people have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, case numbers have been rising over recent days - most notably among younger people still waiting to get their shots.
