However, it was not until February 24 when the virus spread to the peninsula, with cases in Madrid, Catalonia, and the Valencian Community. Since then, the number of COVID-19 infections has progressively increased. There has been a rapid increase in the number of new cases of COVID-19 in Spain since March 2020 [6].
