Monday figures across Spain
- Spain has registered 399 deaths in the last 24 hours and 4,266 new cases.
The sixth week of confinement begins in Spain with bittersweet news. The number of daily deaths has fallen to figures that have not been seen for almost a month, however, there has been an increase in the number of new cases taking the numbers past 200,000 infected in the country. What that means statistically is that one out of every 235 Spaniards has tested positive for the Covid-19, although the number of actual infected is probably much higher.
However the daily death toll with coronavirus has fallen in Spain, with 399 new fatalities in 24 hours.
According to the latest figures, 20,852 people have died since the start of the pandemic, while more than 200,000 infections and more than 80,000 hospital discharges have been registered.
Pedro Sánchez said today that he will be meeting the leader of the PP, Pablo Casado, to ask for his support in order that the government can start a dialogue for reconstruction with which to seek consensus to manage the stages that will follow the end of the coronavirus health crisis.
The pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 165,000 people worldwide and 2.4 million have been infected, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
