MADRID - At least 25 imported cases of the coronavirus have been detected in Spain over the past month, health authorities said on Friday , despite a strict ban on foreign tourism imposed since mid-March.

Thirty-nine people died during the past week compared with a daily death toll in the hundreds a month ago, the ministry said. "There is a risk. There are still countries with high levels of transmission," Health Emergency Coordinator Fernando Simon told a news conference. "They have not travelled directly to Valencia, but stopped at midpoint airports and we don't know exactly the route they took," she said on Thursday.Further underscoring the pandemic's disruptive effects on transport, several travellers on a plane to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands from Madrid were quarantined after a passenger received a positive diagnosis mid-flight.
