The latest official statistics from the Spanish health authorities, which were released around 2pm on Sunday, put the number of deaths from the coronavirus outbreak at 288, double the count the day before, with more than 7,750 people infected. There have been 517 patients who have recovered and been discharged from hospital so far, and 382 patients who are currently in intensive care.
The Madrid region continues to have the highest number of infections, with the latest figures at 3,544. Catalonia is next, with 715, and then the Basque Country, with 630.
After his Cabinet approved a state of alarm in Spain last night, which has essentially locked down the entire country, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Sunday held a video conference call with the country’s regional leaders, in a bid to tackle the effect of the global pandemic in Spain.
The news comes a day after Spain went into lockdown with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez imposing tight movement restrictions on its 47 million citizens as part of a 15-day state of emergency.
All schools, universities, restaurants, bars and hotels have been closed nationwide along with non-essential stores – a move some of the hardest-hit communities have already carried out.
