Animal conservationists are concerned that large rising numbers of dolphins being stranded on the coasts of Spain are caused by a deadly virus that mutates like the coronavirus.

Dolphin strandings have increased dramatically in south-eastern Spain since the beginning of the year and the experts believe that they are dying because of a virus that is affecting their immune systems.
